Depends. If your include-file actually generates the objects via some SDL,
there might be possibilities to write the finished objects to a file and
load that, instead of parsing the objects for every frame. If the parsing is
needed to simply load large meshes or CSG objects, and the include doesn't
generate the objects via Macros or such, well, then there's not much you can
do about it. POV-Ray, though with animation support, wasn't programmed to be
an animation tool. It was programmed to render a single frame, via "clock"
it just automates rendering one frame after another.
