...in any coalition negotiations involving the SNP following the 2015 general election?

More than likely Labour will want to avoid anything to do with a referendum. I honestly don't see another referendum actually being held either. There are other ways...
EDIT: Evidently I was proven wrong by the SNP on the second referendum thing.

That is true of course. But it isn't just about what Labour wants, presumably the SNP would use its participation in any coalition to best advantage.
What would be interesting would be if an SNP victory at Holyrood were to precipitate some kind of movement towards a declaration of independence based upon that mandate itself. If in the meantime the SNP was keeping Labour in power at Westminster it would be a difficult thing for a UK government to attempt to frustrate.

Neither of you state any reason why you do not see a second referendum taking place. Scotland cannot afford to remain a part of the UK. It will cost jobs and a lot of income. Scotland needs independence for starters then we can decide how big a part we need to be in order to retain much of what we have at the moment. The EU has just awarded Scottish businesses a huge wedge of cash in order to promote themselves, for example. That will not happen if Scotland sticks with the UK.
