using redirect scripts when optimising?

When using frames or iframes, a script such as:

___
passpage = document.URL
if (top.location == self.location)
top.location.href="master.html?" + passpage

the child pages seem not to be index at all by search engines - perhaps understandably.

But does an in-frame script for an iframe such as the one below have a detrimental effect on having pages indexed by popular search engines?

___in child:
if (window.name!='Content' && window.name!='booker_' &&!((self.innerHeight == 0) && (self.innerWidth == 0)))
top.location.replace('master.html?' + self.location);

- with further scripts set both the head and with the iframe in the master/parent page.
