Hi Jason, The wa that the OSG handles positional state like clip planes is pair the a specific modelview matrix with the positional state, the modelview matrix used in provided when the cull traversal encounters a positional state node like ClipNode, TexGenNode or LightSource, and the pairing is done such that there is only one posible modelview matrix per positional state, on per RenderStage basis. This approach ensures that clip planes, eye linear texgen and light sources all have a single place in space for rendering a whole stage, but it does mean you can't reuse a clip plane, eye linear tex gen, or light within on stage.
The only ways to support multiple clip planes or other positional state is to dispense with the positional state nodes completely and have custom state attribute that binds a specific modelview matrix to that state and applies this before applying the state, but straight away after applying the state will need to restore the original modelview matrix. You will also need to geneate the specific modelview matrix somehow, a custom node like ClipNode might be approrpriate. How this all relates to what you have done I can't say, there is no way for me to comment as the code is infront of you not me. Robert.
