No, that is not necessary, but it is another solution to the problem.  Until 
the pointer bug is fixed, there are two workarounds:

1.  Move all of the *-I and *-CORE zones (all zones that do not use 
DAYLIGHTING:DETAILED) to the end of the group of ZONE objects.

OR

2.  Leave the ZONE list as it is, and add DAYLIGHTING:DETAILED objects for the 
zones which do not currently use it.

I would recommend option 1 to save computation time.
