I do use it like this. The behaviour I've seen is that if I have :
#declare Rnd=seed(0);
#declare Rnd1=seed(1)
....much code here using Rnd...
#declare x=rand(Rnd1)

i get an x that is equal to a fixed value whatever I pass as a parameter if
the second seed() statement.
If I move it just before I use it, it works fine. That is what I don't
understand, because I thought that random number streams were totally
independant.
Any idea ?
