Not sure if I understand right what you are doing. But assuming I have
correctly understood that at some point you actually use 'dofile' to
run a script, and that this script will in turn use 'dofile' to run
other scripts, etc., why not just replace it by a function with the
same name that does the tracking you need, as in:

local old_dofile = dofile
dofile = function( ...)
  track_node( ...)
  return old_dofile( ...)
end


Since 'dofile' is a global identifier, any code that references it
should call yours instead.
