Nope.
I have used this technique since the introduction of the mesh object.
#declare Ball = mesh { smooth_triangle.... }
difference {
object { Ball }
object { box ... } }
This worked in the official release, in SuperPov, but not with MegaPov. :(
Actually, it still works. There are, however, extraneous objects showing up.

What happens if you use 'inverse' for either the Ball or the box or the
difference itself.

It shouldn't work in any of them, with the possible exception of MegaPOV.
Parts of the box that are properly inside the ball should still show up.
If it did work, it was a lucky coincidence.

No no no.. Compile it and make a binary statemachine out of the regexp, apply to
the. . . . .

Well, so far I've come across more then 2000 lucky coincidences. :)
I worked alright. Everytime too. I know, I was warned my Ron Parker (and
Chris Colefax, too, who both recommended clipping years ago I think), that
it wasn't proper coding and shouldn't work. But, it did, so I continued the
practice. The worst part is, after I got all of the independant portions
coded I merged it with the overall code, so now I have a real mess!
Ah, well! Clipping (w/wo inverse) fixes it.

The same extraneous portion shows up, but with the disected section rather
then the
host.

Is there a texture (pigment at least) on the differencing object (box in this
case)? Reason I ask is that I had a similar sounding situation a couple years
ago.

I was wondering what might happen depending on texture location in the script.
For example inside the 'difference' only, or in both objects only.
If you got it fixed no need to try that. I came across something like this once
and that seemed to be the problem.

No, I don't apply textures, etc., until after I have the section defined. :)
