Hi,
If I have two instances of pov open, one doing a very long render which
needs to be stopped and started using Continue from the Render->Rerun menu,
and one to continue working (and tracing) on a separate *.pov file, does the
second instance of pov "cancel out" the continue option in the first
instance?
hope that all made sense

If the output files have different names, it shouldn't be a problem.

It depends. If you select POV for Windows' option of
continue latest trace (or something like that), it'll continue
the latest file that has been traced.
But, it actually looks at the image-data that has already been
saved, and tries to figure where it stopped the last time. This
has always worked fine for me with BMP, TGA and PNG, but
sometimes it may screw up. Thus, it is always recommended
to keep a copy of the image rendered so far somewhere, cause
POV will overwrite the already created data if it can't figure where
to start.
