Hi Frans, The "st_within" geometry function checks whether a haystack_shape contains the needle_shape. If proximity is specified, it is treated as an extra wide border around haystack_shape. In currnet version, only a combination of bounding box and a point is supported, this functionality will be extended in the next release.
I hope this answers your question. Genarally, if you can provide some sample data and the queries being run it would help in understanding of the issue being reported ...
