Gizmoog,
  As far as the beam radiation is concerned, you can use the 
combination of Type67 and Type34 to define the inverse of your mask:

>inside                                 outside

>             |                           |

where Type34 defines the overhang and Type67 defines the inverse of 
your real mask. Type67 has outputs for whether the beam radiation is 
visible or not. The output BeamFraction is 0 if beam radiation is 
blocked and 1 if the beam radiation is not blocked. In your case, you 
will multiply the unshaded beam radiation by (1-BeamFraction).
You might be able to handle the diffuse radiation in a similar manner.
Cheers,
  David
