Copying a card that's a copy of another, which takes precedence?

OK, so I'm playtesting my I foresee...a very slow buildup. deck, right? And I have Infinite Reflection on a transformed card:Ludevic's Test Subject. I then cast Cackling Counterpart on Elderscale Wurm , which is a copy of the Abomination, thanks to the Reflection.
The token that enters the battlefield from Cackling Counterpart is a copy of Elderscale Wurm , or card:Ludevic's Abomination Flip?

It becomes a copy of Ludevic's Abomination, since the effect of Infinite Reflection makes Elderscale Wurm a copy of the abomination.

Ah, OK.
But if I had, say, played a Cackling Counterpart on the Elderscale Wurm BEFORE I'd put the Infinite Reflection on card:Ludevic's Abomination Flip, then I could use another Cackling Counterpart to copy one of the Elderscale Wurm tokens from the first Counterpart...right?

if you target Elderscale Wurm with Cackling Counterpart you will get a token copy of Elderscale Wurm regardless of weither or not you have an Infinite Reflection in play because it only deals with "non-token" creatures.

However if Infinite Reflection was out first, then you would get a copy of your test subject, since that is what your wurm would have been.

Of course. I'm just trying to figure out how to get Infinite Reflection on card:Ludevic's Abomination Flip while keeping a couple Elderscale Wurm tokens around, just in case they get through that wall of 13/13 tamplers.
Assuming I'm even able to get all of that out before dying.

You answered your own question. Elderscale Wurm is a copy of card:Ludevic's Test Subject as per the effect of Infinite Reflection .
