There's something I'm not sure I understand... It seems that you have one
texture for each vertex, which seems to defeat the idea of having a compact
format like mesh2 in the first place.
Usually, the textures in a mesh2 object are neatly packed in the
texture_list{} part and all you have to do is to declare them externally
before the mesh is loaded.
#declare T1=..
#declare T2=..
and then mesh2{... texture_list{4, texture{T1}texure{T2}...} ...}
