Does anyone know if errors like:

Error: file: C:/someScript.mel line XXX: The attribute 'someAttrib' was locked in a referenced file, and cannot be unlocked. //


Can be worked around in the referencing file? E.g. can I unlock the node from the file in which it's referenced?

Attributes locked in a referenced file can't be unlocked from the referencing file.
You may be able to get some mileage out of the lock reference feature - when a locked reference is created *all* of the nodes and attributes in the referenced file will be locked. It doesn't provide the fine grained control as locking individual attributes in the referenced file, but the upside is that the reference can be locked or unlocked from the referencing file.
