AFAIK the use of interior_texture depends on the normal direction and 
the normal direction of a flat triangle in a mesh depends on the order 
of vertices.  In case of a smooth triangle this is of course more 
complicated, you probably can even create triangles with partly 
interior_texture and partly not.
