Just pass the object to the macro, such as in:

     #declare MyObject = sphere {...}
     Tile ( MyObject, ... )

or even:

     Tile ( sphere {...} , ... )

In the macro, use "ObjectToTile" just like you would use any #declare'd 
object, e.g.

     #macro Tile ( ObjectToTile, ... )
       ...
       object { ObjectToTile }
       ...
     #end
