Not really... What I wanted to do was take out a 120deg slice out of my 
object... I couldnt see how to do that with youir method... I finally 
managed it with a scaled box...

I have done a few more tests and found that:

difference
{
    object{Thing}
    plane{y, 0}
    plane{z, 0}
    cutaway_textures
}

does work,

difference
{
    object{Thing}
    union
    {
        plane{y, 0}
        plane{z, 0}
    }
    cutaway_textures
}

does work, but

difference
{
    object{Thing}
    intersection
    {
        plane{y, 0}
        plane{z, 0}
    }
    cutaway_textures
}

does NOT work, neither does

difference
{
    object{Thing}
    difference
    {
        plane{y, 0}
        plane{z, 0}
    }
    cutaway_textures
}
