No, you can mix any valid input filetype with any valid output type, they
are independent of each other.  Just make sure that the image_map
declaration and the POV settings are formatted so that POV can locate the
image file. See:
"3.1.2.5.4  Library Paths" & "1.2.7  I/O Restrictions"

The image file either needs to be 1)in the current.pov file working
directory, 2) in the .ini file library paths, or 3) set explicitly in the
image_map declaration.
Along with this, you need to make sure that your I/O restrictions allow for
the declaration method you used.

I personally like to store all macros, images, includes etc. in specific
library directories and have these specified in the .ini library paths.
