Hello. I have recently started using a modelling program called Milkshape.
This program exports to povray *.inc files by creating a #declared mesh of
smooth_triangles. I made an object and exported it. In povray I used
differences and intersetions to sepparate the object into 3 sections , each
a different color. When I ran the render I got a bunch of warnings stating
patch can't be used in Intersection. Yet the render ran normally and the
object came out the way I wanted. Is there something I need to be concerned
with? Will a future version of povray actually stop the render like what
happens now if I forget a "{" somewhere?

If the intersection remove something from a patch, it's OK. If you have a difference
of an union 
that include a patch, or a mesh, by something, you get that message.
