It seems to me that the only potential energy that can be used is the potential energy that belongs to the system being analyzed.
It may also depend whether you consider all forms of potential energy contribute to mass. Some may allow only certain forms of potential energy. Some may regard a ball moving down the slope, losing its potential energy, and hence losing invariant mass.
