here is a material with two layers glass on both reflectance layers..
vray seems to accept the texturemaps ok, but it resets the reflectance & bump map to default? and doesn't render them but will render the texture maps that are on both layers..
when you delete one of the layers it put the glass & bump map back and renders fine

From what I believe Vray doesn't support layered materials and that probably why you are experiencing some problems.

fine..but there is nothing about it in the pdf.. it seems to support multi layered texture maps and if so they should have a message box pop up when you attempt to add new layer or duplicate layer..or the function should be greyed out..

Ya I agree, it should be disabled if this is the case, as for not being in the pdf manual, apparently Vray will get it's own manual as you would expect as it a addon, so perhaps it will be documented once Vray 1.0 is released.
