Hi,

CGAL includes no method to cut meshes with genus > 0 (besides a very simple method 
provided as example). If you intend to parameterize such meshes, you have to provide a 
cutting method.

See paragraph "Cutting a Mesh" of CGAL documentation 
http://www.cgal.org/Manual/3.3/doc_html/cgal_manual/Surface_mesh_parameterization/Chapter_main.html#Section_39.5 
and Mesh_cutting_parameterization.cpp example.

Best regards,
