No, backface culling is for polygon scan-conversion only. The effect you
want can be achieved by adding the "no_image" keyword to the roof
object. This lets you see through the roof but it will still cast
shadows (unless no_shadow is also used) and will still appear in
reflections (unless no_reflection is also used). Section 3.4.9.7 of the
manual describes it further.

brother casting a spam into the net:  for they were phishers.  And Jesus
said unto them, Come ye after me, and I will make you to become phishers
of men.  And  straightway  they forsook  their  nets,  and followed him.
