No - do not use truly_inside().  There are some known issues with 
truly_inside() - i'll be removing it from the distribution soon.

I think you'll find that the distance() function will work for you. 
 Distance does assume an XY coordinate system, but this will probably 
not be a problem for you. You should note that for objects that either 
just-touch or just-dont-touch you may get either zero or a small number 
due to imprecision.
