The incircle of triangle $ABC$ tangents $BC$, $CA$, $AB$ at $D$, $E$, $F$, respectively. Let the tangents of $E$, $F$ with respect to $\odot(AEF)$ intersect at $P$, and $X$ be a point on $BC$ such that $EF$, $DP$, $AX$ are concurrent. Define $Q$, $Y$ and $R$, $Z$ similarly. Show that $X$, $Y$, $Z$ are collinear.
