The problem is that the Ball_And_Stick() macro doesn't return an object,
it returns two objects. So you can't say

  object { Ball_And_Stick(Source_Points,Destination_Points,0.5, 0.1) }


You can fix it by saying

  union { Ball_And_Stick(Source_Points,Destination_Points,0.5, 0.1) }


or by making Ball_And_Stick() return a single union of the two objects

  union {
    object { Source_Triangle }
    object { Destination_Triangle }
  }
  ...
  object { Ball_And_Stick(Source_Points,Destination_Points,0.5, 0.1) }


The error message isn't very helpful, but I guess that the POV parser
got just as confused as you did.
