Yes, and some don't have prerequisite include statements for their dependencies.
  I think that the segment of torus object needs something in another shapesN
include file and that include file isn't in the file "header".

Some of the other include files / insert files have some mysterious blocks of
code that I haven't deciphered/translated [yet].  IIRC, FL's analytic geometry
has a few near the end...

I was trying to figure out a way to create a monolithic include file that could
selectively include whatever you specified, but I haven't figured out the best
way to do that.
