I have two shapes overlapping each other as a compound path so that the top shape is a cut out of the bottom shape. Is there a way to make this compound path relationship permanent so that it can't be undone?

No, it is not possible. A compound path is the only mechanism which allows you to make holes in paths. So want a hole then it is a compound path. Period.

In genral it is not possible to lock users out of the data even if this was possible. So undoing it would be no harder than asking the program to rebuild the shape.

This said it is possible to make a path that appears having a hole while it does not. I can still sidestep this though.
