No, it would only create a mess because POV-Ray is in no way meant to allow
this.  You can create paradoxes and that is why this "feature", which
existed in early versions of MegaPOV, was not included in POV-Ray 3.5 and
will not be included in any future version of POV-Ray either.

Use INI files to change options, use scene files to describe scenes.
