A project in Rayfront is basically just a directory, holding a number of subdirectories and files.
Within this directory, the structure is like follows:
rayfront.cfg # internal project configuration data
materials.dfm # material definitions
function/ # data for procedural primitives
scene/ # geometry data ("objects")
parts/ # substitution targets
skies/ # sky definition files
views/ # view definition files
<var>.rif # "variation"
<var>.rad #
images/ # image output data
numeric/ # numeric output data
octrees/ # octree files
illum/ # mkillum(1) data and config
mktis/ # mktis data and config
logfiles/ # log files
ambfiles/ # ambient files
proc/ # process management data
The files in the first group ("rayfront.cfg", "materials.dfm" and everything in the directories "function", "scene", "parts", "skies" and "views") contain data that is global to the project.
Although Rayfront only allows modification of any data while editing a specific variation, any other variation that uses the same information will see the changes you make to it.
A variation is defined by each a *.rif and a *.rad file in the project directory, and defines a subset of the data available in the project.
