Why? It only complicates matters; for instance, if you want to use 
different include files for different frames of an animation, having the 
same figure carry the same name is of an advantage.

If it is about getting two figures of same base name in a single scene, 
it may be easier, too, as in:

#declare MyFigures = array[10];
#local i = 1;
#while (i <= 10)
   #include concat("Beggar", str(i,0,0), "_POV_geom.inc");
   #declare MyFigures[i-1] = object { Beggar_ }
   #local i = i + 1;
#end
