Unless of course between trashing the file and trying to undo the

I think it is very hard to get all the edge cases. Maybe if you script the finder to trash the file, then the finder's undo would be available.

With aliases, there's a kResolveAliasTryFileIDFirst constant that will avoid this situation, although if you just use FSRefs, I don't think they keep track of the path at all, so that should always track the same file node no matter what.

At any rate, if you do the resolution immediately after performing the trash operation, this should prevent this situation from happening in the first place.
