You cannot do this if you also desire to apply individual textures to each
face of the mesh.  You can of course split the mesh into as many faces as
you want to texture individually, but I am aware that doing so is not
feasible if you have many individual textures.

interior_texture is only applied to those triangles which do not have their
own texture.  I understand that this may not always be desired, but
currently (POV-Ray 3.6 beta 1) you cannot get the effect you would like.

No, I completely understand what you are trying to do.  As said, you cannot
currently recreate the effect you desire as of POV-Ray 3.6 beta 1.
