Can you provide more context, including a link or a quote on this theorem? And are there more than 2 factors and 2 goods?

I'd like to know generally, regardless of the number of factors. A link to the theorem: http://www.economicsdiscussion.net/distributive-shares/eulers-product-exhaustion-theorem-with-diagram/18880

If the relative share of inputs is constant in a production process, does that mean that the inputs are used in fixed proportion?

If not, what is the difference between having relative shares of factors constant and fixed proportions?
