Raid lock question

I know this question may seem kind of convoluted or at least stupid sounding, but;

If I were part of a raid, that had extended a lock, and not gotten saved to it (I'm also an original member of that raid lock if that matters) and then I run a new raid , and get saved to it, will I be able to join the old raid lock, if someone else part of the old raid doesn't get saved to a new raid, and extends the lock a week further.

I guess my question is will this affect my ability to rejoin that raid lock for any reason?

Let me know if I need to make my question more clear.

We have a rather nice little FAQ page on raids, and the lockout portion I believe you may find helpful.

http://www.worldofwarcraft.com/info/basics/raidgroups.html

Dungeon and Raid ID Extensions

    * In order to allow for parties and raids to progress through instances at their own pace, players can now extend an instance ID on an individual basis.
    * Existing or recently expired IDs can be extended via the Social tab under Raid by clicking on Raid Info.
    * The ID of any instance to which a player is saved can be extended. Doing so will extend the instance lock period by the same amount of time as the original lock (i.e. extending an Ulduar instance ID will add 7 days, a Heroic: Halls of Lightning instance ID will add 24 hours, and a Zul'Gurub instance ID will add 3 days to the instance lock time).
    * An ID can be extended more than once.
    * An extension can be reversed on an individual basis provided the player does not do anything in the instance during the extended instance lock period that would save that player to the instance.
