This is what is was talking about from the 12.1 config guide documentation under BGP.
By default, the clients of a route reflector are not required to be fully meshed and the routes from a client are reflected to other clients. However, if the clients are fully meshed, the route reflector does not need to reflect routes to clients. To disable client-to-client route reflection, use the no bgp client-to-client reflection command, beginning in router configuration mode:
Note: If client-to-client reflection is enabled, the clients of a route reflector cannot be members of a peer group.
What I interpret from this statment,is that RR can't have clients that are in a peer group they configured(logical).

Are you asking if clients in a reflection cluster can be neighbors
themselves? peer-groups are just a configuration tool and don't actually
affect the performance of BGP external to the router. If this is that
case, then yes is the answer, and no client-to-client-reflection will stop
the reflection server from reflecting intra cluster routes back to clients
(since they will be learning these directly)
