"Always" is a loaded term. :-)

I don't know of a reason why it *shouldn't* work.

I would think that any node available to a script inside a PROTO
definition has already been injected into the PROTO definition's
run-time name scope; e.g., via one of the PROTO instance's interfaces.
I don't see this example of this clearly articulated in the spec; but I
think it's analogous to the situation with IMPORT (which is mentioned in
4.4.7).
