You can also use 'do shell' using Ruby to get the date and time a file was last accessed. You have Ruby if you have OS X 10.4 or higher.
Just test this in terminal: 

ruby -e 'puts File.stat("/path/to/your/file.txt").atime'

You need to escape the quotes in Applescript for this to work:

set tscript to "ruby -e 'puts File.stat(\"/Users/vangelon/Desktop/Untitled.sc45\").atime'"
do shell script tscript
