Differencing failing

The way I get around that is to have a global.scad that I include in all my
other files. I can then define a variable in that that will affect them all.

Ok, dialing back the convexity got it.  I found that as an example
somewhere. It was working so I didn't mess with it.

I have rebuilt all my files to "use" rather than "Include" but I'm having
one issue.
I have a variable called CrossSection which is either true or undefined.
If undefined the modules are supposed to be complete, and if true they are
supposed to difference with a large cube to create a cross section view.
Apparently the value of CrossSection isn't being passed down to the
modules. I can clip it in the main view, but then all the faces are green,
and there is a bunch of artifacting where parts of the model that were
differenced out are allowing me to see through the model.
