Thanks for the information Gilles, I'll take a look att Geometry then. As soon as I posted posted my question though, I got the idea of comparing the lengths of the segments with the distance from their beginnings to the line intersection. If longer, then the intersection is valid for the segments. It looks like that works for me, but I'll switch over to Geometry.
