David, You can force uniqueness for each tiddler with qualify to the state eg state=<<qualify $:/state/tabs>> however this will not be unique within the tiddler.
Use <<qualify $:/state/tabs/articles>> <<qualify $:/state/tabs/documents>> to have additional tabsets unique both to the tiddler and within the tiddler. Alternatively if you do not qualify state=$:/state/tabs/articles changing the tab in one tiddler will be reflected in all other tab sets using the same state tiddler. This sometimes has an advantage to users who may want to use a particular tab in multiple tiddlers Each open with the last selected. Pick and choose according to the outcome you want.
