Re: #include ... #as

Assuming that every include file's name is unique, then the real concern is
the names of the #macros and #declares within.  What about some sort of
name registration process along the lines of domain-name registration?

Once an include is accepted, then the names of its #macros and #declares are
nolonger available within later include files.

One approach which might make this process more manageable, would be to
require that each #macro/#declare name contain an abreviation which
identifies the type of object it returns ( light_source => foo_ls, texture
=> foo_tx, CSG => foo_cg, mesh => foo_mh, etc.).
