Unfortunately that isn't always enough. :-(

My BlobMan has clothes. That means he is made up of multiple objects each
with separate textures.
When it is an object that has already been #declared you can only add one
texture to the whole object afterwards and that isn't enough if you need an
object with different textures on the different parts.
Besides, if textures have already been added to the object you can't
overwrite them.
