Does it make a difference if I declare an array filled with objects
like this:

#declare Object_List=array[3] { sphere{...},cylinder{},box{} }

or like this:
#declare Object_List=array[3]
#declare Object_List[1]=sphere{...}
#declare Object_List[2]=cylinder{...}
#declare Object_List[3]=box{...}

Somehow my algorithm has no problems with first version,
but doesn't run properly with second (and yes, the array is
fully declared before that part runs).

I'm looking further into this, but I found this very strange. I'll
experiment with using the same objects in both versions
and move on from there. Perhaps someone already knows
something I should know... :-)

Don't you think you should better use:

#declare Object_List=array[3]
#declare Object_List[0]=sphere{...}
#declare Object_List[1]=cylinder{...}
#declare Object_List[2]=box{...}

Well, yeah. That was a typo in the message, not
in the actual code. I'll continue stating something when
I've experimented some more...
