To tell the truth, I really do not know /how/ the different ior's are
treated together. Afaik, this is not explained in the wiki pages. To
keep on the safe side, I kept the inclusion's ior at 1.0 which is
cheating of course, but at least I was not confronted to strange
effects. On my ToDo list I have put some ior experiments...
