Thanks.

You can overlay textures so long as the upper layers do have some 
transparency. I have seen a technique that produced reasonable results using 
the brick pattern (though I've never used it). There's a tutorial at 
http://www.shipbrook.com/jeff/raytrace/bricks.html covering something 
similar. I don't know if that technique is worth exploring.
