You've certainly lost me...making the traces isn't the problem, the 
problem is positioning the traces so they don't intersect or contact, 
and positioning the components to fit on the board. I can probably make 
a different mode for the include file that will do all this, putting the 
traces on one side of the board with jumpers to cross over and using 
models of actual components, but schematics will likely require manual 
adjustment because the positioning of the component model terminals will 
be different from the symbol terminals.

Shouldn't that be the job of the user? Just give 'em a macro that makes the
traces and let them worry about them interesecting or not.

Not when the whole point of the feature is that the user doesn't have to 
do it...

That's currently all that exists.
