For newbies I think it's nice that the POV file is self-contained and ready-to-render.
However, using certain coming options you can exclude camera and lights.
Why would you like submodels in separate .inc files ?
Only to have a smaller "master" POV file?
Should these be self-contained, i.e. having the necessary primitives and colors?
Or would you like to manage the needed primitives and colors yourself?
Your software can call L3P for each submodel to generate the .inc files.
These will be self-contained.
Having primitives and colors defined multiple times in many .inc files doesn't harm,
since they are guarded by ifdef's.
