Whenever you provide an overall texture to any CSG, it apply only to 
whatever component don't have any individual texture.

Whatever texture is applied to a component always override any "global" 
texture.

cutaway_textures is suposed to return the texture of the cut object, 
and, if you have 2 or more objects overlaping, the result is the average 
of the individual textures.

Thanks.  That makes sense to me.

Should I be filing a bug report or something for my original problem (an
intersection with a union does not show the cutaway textures?)  I have not yet
found a reasonable workaround.

Cheers,
Mike

A report has already been filed. See http://bugs.povray.org/task/183.
