On behalf of the freewrl opensource community, I report my best knowledge today FreeWRL supports GLSL shading language only, Composed and Program shaders only.
Or more correctly aspires to. Your Geo.x3d example 
http://coderextreme.net/bug/geo.x3d
of cubemap shading in a ComposedShader isn't working right now in freewrl, and I'm looking into that.
Other samples of ProgramShaders and ComposedShaders do work in freewrl:

Thanks,
