If you are locking the Session scope outside the component, there's no
reason you'd need to lock the Session scope within the component.

You should have no problem using CFLOCK within a CFFUNCTION tag. You would
probably want to rewrite it something like this, I think:
<cffunction ...>
<cfargument ...>
<cfset var ...>
<cflock ...>
...
</cflock>
<cfreturn ...>
</cffunction>
However, in this specific case, I would recommend that you perform your
locking in the calling page.
> <CFARGUMENT NAME="lastActionUser" TYPE="STRING"
> REQUIRED="YES" DEFAULT="#SESSION.userName#">
In general, I'd recommend that you avoid explicitly referring to the Session
scope (or any other external scope) within your components and functions. If
the argument is required, there's no need to specify a default value.
