The vector solution for this, by the way, would be to write out the 
vector equation of the plane:

	{x: (x - p) dot n = 0},

where X is the point you're testing, P is a point on the plane (i.e., 
any of the points of the triangle), and n is the normal vector of the 
plane (i.e., the cross product of any two sides of the triangle).  Then 
you write x as (x_x, x_y, x_z), and simply expand the equation and solve 
for x_y.
