Try this:

  derez foo.rsrc Types.r > foo.r	# where foo.rsrc has the resources
					# you are "derez-ing"

The second through last input file names are taken for definition files.

This requires the exported variable {RIncludes} (should be set up by
your Startup or UserStartup.  If it isn't right, give the entire
pathname of Types.r

Caveat / non-feature (I won't say bug):

  Before you run rez on the output file generated above, you must edit
  in the corresponding #include "Types.r" at the top of it.
