That's really interesting - it could allow all sort of stuff (like
landscapes from terragen, organic work from HamaPatch etc. But it
wouldn't display properly, if I'm correct, so maybe a problem
integrating it.
Or, perhaps you could use 'stand-ins'. I remember a previous thread a
few months back, when I was trying out Moray - and I did have
reasonable success with it. I believe even the tree-plugin does (did?)
something similar.

OTOH it doesn't have the options of variable radius which, perhaps,
would be what Jamie is really interested. (Perhaps could be suggested
to him:))
But, using your idea of includes with HamaPatch (incidentally I just
saw - in the last irtc round, the 2nd prize winner - aseafort - used
almost totally sPatch, the predecessor of HamaPatch, and MP0.7!) we
should be able to get some complicated objects which Moray definitely
cannot do alone (involving, in Rhino terminology, lofting, skinning,
extruding_along_one_rail, extruding_along_two_rails etc) And both
HamaPatch and the amloft plugin are free!
