Well, you're off to a pretty amazing start.
I find it useful to visual pair each opening and closing of a block of code with
another level of indent, plus commenting which #end is which.
It's also helpful when writing blocks of code like that to immediately terminate
the block with the matching ending, and then insert the filler code afterwards -
so every opening always has a matching ending.

#if // if #1
     #if // # if #2
          some code
     #end // end if #2
#end // end if #1

That way I can lock my eyes on the opening, and scroll down until I hit the
close. (I need to start doing this with parentheses too)

I also do this with opening and closing curly braces for unions, textures, etc.

You just need a sphere {} for every point.  Points in POV-Ray aren't visible
objects - even "if they were" - they'd be infinitely small mathematical points
that were invisible anyway  ;)
[back off pedants - you know what I mean! :D  ]

So just make a
#declare Triangle = union {sphere {}  sphere{}  sphere {}}
with very small radii, and that ought to do it.

Sure thing
