DAPT,

The RFM and cards don't specify an 'intermittent' condition for those pump cautions. They just have a drill for when the caution displays on the CAD.
The pilot then follows the drill for the caution. The flight condition (attitude) then changes and the pilot then re-switches to get back to normal. Then the caution appears again as conditions change, so the pilot carries out the drill again as if it had never occurred before. Now some might say (and have), it's stupid to keep switching the pumps on and off in flight particularly if the cause for activation is aircraft attitude, but pilot deviation from the drill is not part of the deal.
