deferred class CurvPointFuncInv from Blend


    ---Purpose: Deferred   class  for a  function  used  to compute  a
    --          blending surface between a  surface and a curve, using
    --          a  guide  line.   This   function is  used  to find  a
    --          solution on a done point of the curve.          
    --          The vector <X>  used in Value, Values and  Derivatives
    --          methods  has  to   be the  vector   of the  parametric
    --          coordinates w, U,  V where w is  the parameter  on the
    --          guide line, U,V   are the parametric coordinates of  a
    --          point on the partner surface.
