I’m using blender 2.74 and I’m wondering how to use a material in another material in the cycles node editor. The documentation says that there’s a ‘Material’ node under ‘Import’, but I don’t see one; I assume it was removed along with some other nodes. How can I accomplish the use of one material in another material in blender cycles v. 2.74?

Nothing removed, you’re looking at the wrong documentation. The material node is for the blender render engine not the cycles renderer.
Add all the nodes in your other material into a node group (Ctrl+G) and then add that node group to your material
Thank you for helping!
