The scene object is indeed different. Clearly, the M4D and RendM4D linkage is more useful to meshes, materials and textures, as they are all related and also usually come in multiple instances.
Currently RendM4D::Scene doesn’t store any additional information with respect to M4D::Scene. Rendering could be achieved by a rendering routine that takes M4D:Scene in input. For consistency however I wanted to give an actual object to the renderable scene. Also in the future a renderable scene may need to keep some extra data. For example a direct list of only renderables, to avoid scanning the array of all M4D:Model, which is the base class for more than meshes/particle objects (could be a camera, a transformation node, etc.).

Hmmm… I don’t understand why you need the RendM4D::Scene? Seems like it just creates an extra layer for accessing M4D::Scene.
But in fact doesn’t really contain any ‘renderable’ data.
