Abstract: The notions of reflection from outside, reflection from inside and signature of a billiard trajectory within a quadric are introduced. Cayley-type conditions for periodical trajectories for the billiard in the region bounded by $k$ quadrics in $R^d$ and for the billiard ordered game within $k$ ellipsoids in $R^d$ are derived. In a limit, the condition describing periodic trajectories of billiard systems on a quadric in $R^d$ is obtained.
