You assume that you can compute u1 in the first layer without knowing u2. But 
that isn't true. The interface conditions between layers you have say that a 
certain fraction of the light intensity from layer 1 crosses into layer 2, but 
it also implies that another fraction of the light intensity in layer 2 
crosses into layer 1. In other words, you can only solve for layer 1 when you 
know what the light intensity in layer 2 is, but of course also the other way 
around -- the problem is coupled.
