WINPOV 3.5 Beta 10
When including woodmaps.inc (or woods.inc) without including colors.inc
an error occurs in line 471. A color "Clear" defined in colors.inc is
used.
Either colors.inc should be included in woodmaps.inc or "Clear" should
be replaced by rgbf 1 imho.

There are other include files that are dependant upon colors.inc being
included to make the file work. It is a good idea to just get used to
including colors.inc if you will be using other texture related files.

But why not including colors.inc in every include, which needs it? That
would be more logical and the parsing time would not be much longer.

It actually would increase parse time.  Besides, POV-Ray include files
always used to depend on a common subset of include files.

But there's this section in colors.inc:

#ifdef(Colors_Inc_Temp)
// do nothing
#else
#declare Colors_Inc_Temp = version;

Does it take so much time to open the include and to skip reading if
Colors_Inc_Temp already exists? I think this isn't used in loops, so it's
not very important.

  Then use a trick sometimes used in C/C++. Instead of:

#include "whatever"

do:

#ifndef _WHATEVER_INC_
  #include "whatever"
  #declare _WHATEVER_INC_ = yes;
#end

  As this is done just inside a standard include, the user doesn't have to
worry about it.

Colors.inc already does this.

Which is exactly what increases parse time!  The POV-Ray parser still turns
everything into tokens, only to ignore it - keep in mind the parser and what
looks like a preprocessor is actually more or less *one* step, so it isn't
very fast.

Precisely.  Afaik a lot of include files do, or at least did this.

  Do you mean that povray reads the #included file even though it's inside
an #if block which is just being skipped?-o
