This is a limitation of scene unique names, check docs there: Scene Unique Nodes — Godot Engine (stable) documentation in English

I recommend to you use groups instead, with groups you can acess any node from anywhere (the nodes just need to be inside the tree):

# In your Map script
func _ready():
	add_to_group("map")

# In your state_machine script when you need to get the Map node:
var my_map = get_tree().get_first_node_in_group("map")
