Cipher requires the card to be exiled for it to encode a creature. That being said, an encoded effect cannot set off another cipher effect, since the card is already exiled.

The card that has "Cipher" written on it is the only one exiled. That card then "encodes" a creature, which gives the creature the ability to copy the cipher card's effect when it deals combat damage to a player.

Definitely a slightly confusing rule. A very useful rule though, I like the idea of having my unblockable 1/1s being able to spawn tokens constantly  {Call of the Nightwing}!

If a creature is exile with spells encoded on it does it lose those encoded spells when it comes back into play?

If the creature leaves the battlefield at all, it loses its encoded ability/abilities.
