When you "spend" a resource like a target lock, you spend it to pay for one effect. If you spend it for R4-B11, it cannot be spent for firing munitions, and vise-vera.

If, however, an effect said "when you spend a target lock" or "when you remove a focus token", that effect does propogate. For example, Garven Dreis triggers "after you spend a focus token". So Garven could spend a focus token to change his focus results to hits or evades, and then use his ability to give that token to a buddy.

Also I should note that spending a lock to fire a missile happens when you start the attack, and R4-B11 happens several steps later in the Modify Defense Dice step, so these two events are separated by time as well. Check out the Phases / Order of Gameplay page for a complete breakdown of steps.
