What do you want to happen if two of the circles overlap? Should the density of 
random points be twice as high? 

If the answer is 'yes' then do the following (where X is your original point 
pattern of centres, and 'r' is the radius of the circles, and 'lambda' is the 
intensity of random points per unit area in each circle)

       V <- scanmeasure(X, r)
       V <- eval.im(lambda * V)
       Y <- rpoispp(V)

If the answer is 'no' then do 
       W <- dilation(X, r)
       Y <- rpoispp(lambda, win=W)
