Geometric variables, inner and region bdy, normal

Inner boundaries which divide the domain into several simply connected components are useful to define piecewise discontinuous functions such as dielectric constants, Young modulus...

Inner boundaries may meet other boundaries only at their vertices. Such inner boundaries will split the domain in several sub-domains.
