I am trying to use an object that is "freely useable". It works fine in it's
own pov file but when I tried using it in mine I get a problem. Consider
the following...

#declare Cylndr017 = object {
  object { // Cylndr017->Cylndr018
    Cylndr018
    rotate -0.0*y
    translate  -1.5*x
  }
}
POV stops on the line with the rotate and gives me the message...

Parse error: no matching } in "object" * found instead.

this is the brass bed object from the POVRAY objects collection. Like I said
it works fine from it's own pov file. I "included" the povray file in my
pov file and I get that error while parsing. I had a similar problem using
the desklamp from the same collection.
any opinions?
