Okay, what you want to do is use 'photons' for that. Then the light can
reflect off of surfaces such as a mirror. Maybe you already knew that, not
easy to read minds here.

Might be a problem with this, since photons only approximate the behavior of
refracted and reflected light rays. I'll see if I can show an example soon,
just in case you weren't having any success or had not tried that yet.

For the image-within-image effect, the inxframe.zip at my website's links
webpage should work for that, since the example animated gif there does
exactly that. If I remember right (was years ago I did that) you must render
the whole scene as animation first, then reuse the image frames as the
image_map while rendering the animation again.
