VSS will help keep more than one author from using a file at any point in time, provided that the author locks the file upon checking it out. But yes, FM's ability to reference one file more than once in more than one book extends beyond VSS or any other source control system. It's just how the product works. FYI: VSS is not an ideal tool to use for FrameMaker revision/source control. FM files (and graphics files, PS files, PDFs, etc.) are binary. VSS cannot diff the binary files, so what you end up with is a new copy of the same file stored in the system every time you check a change in, which can chew up drive space pretty quick.
