Description Anthony.Faust 2000-12-20 12:15:21 CET 
I find that when placing more than one G4PVParameterised
volume in a mother volume, G4 seems to get confused with volume
numbers; it ignores the subvolumes in the parametrised volume and
reports copy numbers as -1. It also begins to report
"G4Tubs::DistanceToOut(p), point p is outside !?" exceptions that
are not reported when only a single parametrised volume is used.
More generally, it occurs when I add a G4PVParameterised volume to
any mother volume that contains any other daughter volumes.
I have created this latter case as an example program that
recreates which I can email to any interested parties.

By definition one mother volume can have ONLY ONE parameterized volume.
Also, once it has a parameterized volume, it must not have any other
daughter volumes by ordinary placement.
