This is actually my second biggest gripe with Softimage at the moment - having to make people add references twice/whatever just makes things feel soooo sloppy when you're making compounds! Using a GetData node as Gray mentioned covered a lot of cases, but there's enough exceptions to make it painful nevertheless (usually with instancing from groups, sharing fcurve profiles and a couple of other things I forget...).
