I have a data file for a resource and it contains few 'contained' resources. Can a contained resource refer to another contained resource (on the same level) using the '#' ? Or does it need to be contained within the contained resource?

You can't contain anything within a contained resource - that's prohibited. You can certainly reference from one contained resource to another. Be cautious about using 'contained' - it's not a packaging mechanism. It's a way for sharing related resources that can't exist on their own.
