> For example, consider a class named Dog with a method named bark.  Let dog.wtkx be a WTKX file whose root element is the Dog class.  Can I call the bark method of "this" from a script in dog.wtkx?

Yes, you can do this. For example, you could give the Dog instance an ID and then call it from script:

<Dog wtkx:id="dog">
    <wtkx:script>
        dog.bark();
    </wtkx:script>
</Dog>

Though generally you would probably do this in an event handler, not inline as the file is being processed.
