If you mean some form of client-side cache then you might want to implement a caching wrapper for the AJAX object. I'm not sure theres any public examples for prototype but theres a pattern here http://ajaxpatterns.org/Browser-Side_Cache. If you mean you dont want the script to fire another request if one is already awaiting a response then you can either disable the call to action and/or implement some form of flag in your script.
