The current E-type lens for the NEX camaers are APC format. An APC lens will not work on a FF sensor. If Sony has a FF Mirrorless camera a new lens will have to be developed if the new FF camera has an E-type mount.

Not necessarily. If the physical dimensions of the mount are the same then there's no reason why a hypothetical 24mp FF NEX couldn't activate an APS-C 'cropped mode' using the centre of the sensor. Full frame Nikon DSLRs do precisely that when you attach a DX lens for example.
