More than a certain number of lights won't show up in preview, but they should (SHOULD) render normally; I've done one scene with 18 lights and it seemed correct, although honestly it's kind of hard to know for sure.
A limitation of Poser is that its lights do not behave like real world lights, period. Light will not spread the way you expect it to under any circumstances. The general phenomenon you're probably looking for is Radiosity (or Global Radiosity) and Poser simply does not do it, although it can simulate it in some ways by doing things to materials settings.
