Building a scene from modules is a good way to go instead. It is 
something I often do myself. Learning from past errors: I always start 
from a copy of the original scene :-) I know perfectly well what you are 
going through.
However, you can best leave the radiosity statement in the main scene 
file along with all general things like the light, the sky, etc, and 
include the texture definitions from an external file.

Don't hate yourself. Shit happens, like they say...

Before you go, or before the next hitman makes an appointment with you, 
just take a beer and consider life without POV-Ray ;-)

Now, that should have relieved you! Yell again!
