An INC file is perfect. Something you could add however is a way to 
include the INC file in the dome.inc file. For instance in the Files 
Menu, have a box where the name of the INC file can be given, and have 
that file included in the dome.inc after the comments list like this:

....
// fNoiseProgressiveR     = 0.000000
// fNoiseProgressiveZ     = 0.000000

#include "MyTextures.inc"

// MaxI = 121 ; MaxJ = 39
#declare MyDome = union {
sphere   { < 0.000000, 1.000000, 0.000000 >, 0.030000 }
cone { < 0.041325, 0.999146, 0.000000 >, 0.030000, < 0.000000, 1.000000, 
0.000000 >, 0.030000 }
....
