POV-Ray's include files are the same thing as scene files.  Their biggest
advantage over simply throwing the code into your scene is that it enables you
to reuse the code without having to copy-and-paste it into every file that you
do.  The only real difference between include files and scene files is the file
extension (the file is marked with a ".inc" ending rather than ".pov").
