  Yeah, I'm familiar with the concept in general, but I don't see how you can 
really apply it to Moran's I calculations; the Moran's I value is, by 
definition, based on calculating the value for every point compared to every 
other point, and looking at only points within a smaller window risks getting a 
value that is not representative of the larger context.  But if it makes sense 
to you in your application, then more power to you.  :->
