Ia am building a china cabinet with glassshelves and a mirrored back. I want lights in the top, so they can shine down in the cabinet. Where should they be placed, toward the front, middle or back?? It will be about 17″ deep

To some extent, it will depend on the design of the light fixtures. If they spread the light over a wide pattern, then placement might not matter very much. If they are tight-pattern directional lights, then you'll need more of them, and need to be quite picky about placement.
Dan: Towards the front as much as you can place so you can get light on the displayed items.
