Diffuse, Alternate Diffuse, Alternate Specular, and reflection are really all just diffuse nodes. you can plug anything into any one of them to get the exact same effect.
Im 90% sure refraction is also just another diffuse node, but I havent tried it in a long time so I am not 100% sure.
refraction, reflection, and fresnel will work perfectly fine if plugged into either Diffuse, Alternate Diffuse, Reflection, Alternate Specular or refraction. of course certain conditions must be met for these to work.
obviously you need raytrace turned on in your properties. but refraction needs transperancy turned on the objects to work correctly, reflection needs something to reflect, and fresnel needs both.
