<Proxy> shouldn't appear in .htaccess (think about it, if you are mapping to
a proxy you aren't mapping to a server.)

<Proxy> blocks are processed while serving requests in exactly the same
logical 'order' as the old classic <Directory "proxy:..."> blocks were.
That is, after the first pass at <Location>, but before the second section
combines <Proxy> blocks with the appropriate <Location> blocks.

As far as nesting, I cannot concieve of them falling into other <Directory>,
<Files> or <Location> blocks, but of course they must be available within
the <VirtualHost> blocks.

Conversely, any directive valid in a <Location> should be valid within 
the <Proxy> block.  E.g. <Proxy> and <Directory> remain somewhat 
of the same order, with <Location> being more authoritative,
so anything that you would do within <Location> or <Directory> that
doesn't relate to the file system (no file system - we are speaking of
a proxied location) can be placed within a <Proxy> block.

Does this shed any light on your question?  If not would you restate the Q?
