To achieve the advantages offered by the mesh object over a union of
triangles restrictions are necessary, one of these being that only declared
textures may be applied to individual triangles.  If you want individual
materials for triangles you'll have to use a union (or simply specify the
triangles separately).

Be aware, however, that interiors are designed for objects that actually
have clearly defined interiors and exteriors, which triangles do not.  The
results of specifying an interior for a single triangle will change as the
camera changes, which may or may not be what you want...
