Hi,

Yes, I remember this issue. I've reported this earlier. If I use 
point_xy instead of point as a base point type there is an compilation 
error in geometry\algorithms\convert.hpp:

'boost::mpl::assertion_failed' : cannot convert parameter 1 from 
'boost::mpl::failed ************(__thiscall 
boost::geometry::dispatch::convert<UseAssignment,Tag1,Tag2,DimensionCount,Geometry1,Geometry2>::NOT_OR_NOT_YET_IMPLEMENTED_FOR_THIS_GEOMETRY_TYPES::* 
***********)(boost::mpl::assert_::types<T1,T2>)' to 
'boost::mpl::assert<false>::type' 
D:\lib\boost_geometry\boost\geometry\algorithms\convert.hpp	226

Is this what you have in mind?

Inside rtree I use geometry::point as my basic point because user may 
use whatever he/she wants. But conversion from
geometry::box< geometry::point<...> > to
geometry::box< geometry::point_xy<...> >
is not implemented in geometry::convert().

Please just use geometry::point for now.
