Following my own thoughts and investigations about multi-layered object 
patterns just make me appreciate even more your achievement, as layered 
textures cannot make use of any patterned one (as object patterns 
obviously are). The only way I see would be to use separate CSG object 
layers with an extremely thin interface. I think you did refer to that 
in your comment above about the Virgin Islands flag.
