Kind of reminds me of the Varig situation with Star Alliance.

If MX comes back, they will most certainly join OneWorld. I imagine that they will initially come back as an associate member thus avoiding the larger costs of being a full member. American and BA will definitely want MX back in alliance.
MX is still in OW (albeit an inactive member), thus no need to join again. Of course MX and OW would need to sort out a lot of things before it can restart. OW does not have "associate membership" so MX would still be a full member if it starts operation again unless it decides to leave.
