Is a party not bound by a judgment in an action in which he is not a party?

the fact that redevelopment agency assets and monies have already been disbursed to other entities not joined as parties to this appeal (Washington Mutual Bank v. Blechman (2007) 157 Cal.App.4th 662, 667668, 69 Cal.Rptr.3d 87 [[a]n indispensable party is not bound by a judgment in an action in which he was not joined ] ), Save Our Bay, Inc. v. San Diego Unified Port Dist. (1996) 42 Cal.App.4th 686, 692, 49 Cal.Rptr.2d 847 [a party is indispensable where the plaintiff seeks some type of affirmative relief which, if granted, would injure or affect the interest of a third party not joined] ), plaintiffs argue other relief is nonetheless available. Noting that the so-called waterfall payment provisions contained in sections 34183 and 34188, which plaintiffs allege improperly reallocate ad valorem property taxes to local agencies on something other than a pro rata basis, are intended to operate in the future, plaintiffs contend the court could conceivably reform the provisions to provide them with more money going forward.
