Note: We can use switches of the same include file with different parameter one after the other, but we should
force POV-Ray to reload the according include file before calling a switch with changed parameters:
I.e.: The macro RT_Track_Switch_3Ways_A_00(...) returns: 'Switch_Radius_', 'Rail_Distance_'.

#undef RT_Track_Switch_3Ways_A_00_Inc_Temp
#include "RT_System/RT_Track_Switch_3Ways_A_00.inc"
