The easiest way is to simply declare the object as something.

For example:

#declare Thing =
union{
sphere{<1,0,0>,1}
sphere{<0,1,0>,1}
sphere{<0,0,1>,1}
sphere{<1,1,0>,1}
sphere{<0,1,1>,1}
     }

//object{Thing}

As you can see you need only comment out one line this way. This is of course
a simplified version and you would normaly have finishes and pigments for the
objects.
