I have a hypothetical question:

Imagine there was a way to get armour converted to evasion. If Acrobatics were allocated, would the converted armour be affected by the "50% less armour" before or after the conversion?

Conversion always occurs before any % modifiers are applied. But those modifiers still apply to the converted thing if they would have applied to it without the conversion - armour converted to evasion (which is not possible, but we're playing pretend), would be converted, and then all modifiers that apply to either armour or evasion would apply to it.

can't you just convert it backwards from iron reflxes? Don't know if it's right. Final Evasion = Base Armour * ( 1 + % increased Armour + % increased Evasion Rating and Armour )+ Base Evasion * ( 1 + % increased Evasion + % increased Evasion Rating and Armour )

Conversions apply sequentially - if you convert A to B, and B to C, then A will be converted to B, then to C, rather than stopping at B. This means we have to impose an order and not allow conversion loops, so everything "stops" in a reasonable and predictable state.
