 I don't believe that the Mirror of Erised was hidden in the Room of 
 Requirement. After Harry had seen his parents/family in the mirror, 
 he went and got Ron to have a look at it. In taking Ron back to the 
 mirror, he would no longer be in need of a place to hide, thus 
 not "requiring" the room any longer. Remember, DD said that he went 
 back to investigate the chamber pot room and was unable to find it. 
 He was unable to find it because he didn't have a need for a chamber 
 pot at the time.

Now me:

Exactly.

But when Harry took Ron to the mirror he "needed" to see his family
again. 

To further muddy the water, I am wondering if the room might exist in
different forms simultaneously too: 

When Fred and George "needed" a place to hide it was a broom closet as
it was when Filch needed more cleaning supplies. Yet to the DA it is a
classroom; to Dobby a cozy bedroom for Winky.(OoP) Granted, these were
separate uses but I wonder.

What got me wondering along these lines was "Where does Dobby store
those many dozens of Hermione hats so as not to offend the other House
Elves?" Why, in a "Closet of Requirement" of course!... hee hee
