     for depth-sorting, bounding and visibility culling purposes.

     visible at runtime, like a Cube) or structural objects (that influence
     rendering or are used for varied structural manipulations,

  (* Base class for implementing behaviours in TGLScene.
     Behaviours are regrouped in a collection attached to a TGLBaseSceneObject,
     and are part of the "Progress" chain of events. Behaviours allows clean
     application of time-based alterations to objects (movements, shape or
     texture changes...).
     Since behaviours are implemented as classes, there are basicly two kinds
     of strategies for subclasses :
      stand-alone : the subclass does it all, and holds all necessary data
        (covers animation, inertia etc.)
      proxy : the subclass is an interface to and external, shared operator
        (like gravity, force-field effects etc.)

     Some behaviours may be cooperative (like force-fields affects inertia)
     or unique (e.g. only one inertia behaviour per object).

     methods if you add data in a subclass !
