I've worked with jMonkeyEngine and Ardor3D in the past, and both frameworks perform some activities that don't require any access to the surface.  As an example, maintaining the bounding boxes for a scene graph supports both picking and frustum culling.  Another example would be calculating world transformations for meshes within a scene graph.
