I had also proposed vl = "x1 is an event involving x2", for things like
"la ckta le vleka plkeka'a".

Is there a Lojban word especially related to vl-? 

I don't think so. I think I picked something I liked the sound of, and it also happens to have two consonants from the word "inVoLve". I didn't know relatedness to Lojban was important. I considered tx- because of tu'a, but I'm not sure about the status of x and h at the moment. vl- is a bit easier to pronounce though, so I don't know.

Also, would it be correct to say that

je ra vla fa smo'e ra fa smo'e vla

?

I'd say no, strictly speaking. The o'e might have different referents, that is, we don't know what the implicit argument(s) in "fa smo'e" are, at least in Lojban that would be the case. I'm not sure what xorban's policy is here.
