Default Tile over vinyl

My professional tile installer sanded the no-wax (shiny) vinyl and installed
the ceramic tile right over it. Been looking good for 12 years. Just make
sure the sub-strata of the vinyl in solid and firm.

Question - can anyone help?
I am putting down a ceramic tile floor in the basement that has two layers
of glued down vinyl tiles over the concrete. Since they existing flooring
is tightly glued and undamaged, can I put the ceramic tile over them or do
I have to scrape the vinyl and glue off first?
Thanks for any help you can give - Shel
