The glancing-angle reflectivity profiles in samples containing an X-ray waveguide layer are studied. Oscillations observed at angles within the region of resonance and above, are interpreted by angle dependent interference of the monochromatic X-ray beam in thin layer. The discussion is extended to the structures composed of more than one layer. Experimental reflectivity spectra recorded with Cu K_{α} radiation are compared with the theoretical calculations. It leads to the model of oscillations in reflectivity consistent both for the resonant and non-resonant regions, and clarifies interpretation of oscillations in the region above the resonances. A brief discussion of potential applications of the reflectivity spectra to the studies of structure of thin layers is done.
