What do you mean by a consistent position?

Wouldn't this position be <0,0,0> for each object then translated and rotated to
proper place within the Unions in the macro I'm trying to create.
Thank you for your input, it's making a big big difference with every post.

How can I incorporate a handle.inc in below Union?

#macro Cabinet
(Width,Height,Depth,HasDoor,Door_OpenAngle,Cabinet_Texture,Door_Texture)


  union {
    // Cabinet

    box {<0,0,0><Width,Height,Depth> pigment {image_map {jpeg
Cabinet_Texture}scale 0.5 } finish {phong 1 ambient 0.6 reflection 0}}



    // Door
    #if (HasDoor)
      box {<0,0,0><Width -1 ,Height -1,2> pigment {image_map {jpeg
Door_Texture}scale 0.5 }// finish {phong 1 ambient 0.6 reflection 0}}

        //texture {Door_Texture}
        rotate y*Door_OpenAngle
        translate z*60
      }
    #end

     //Handle
     /*
    #if (HasHandle)//INSTEAD OF box A HANDLE.INC (mesh) NEEDS TO BE DEFINED HERE
      box {<0,0,0><Width -1 ,Height -1,2> pigment {image_map {jpeg
Door_Texture}scale 1 } //finish {phong 1 ambient 0.6 reflection 0}}

        //texture {Door_Texture}
        rotate y*Door_OpenAngle
        translate z*60
      }
    #end
       */





  }

#end

PS: I'm thinking about opening a thread on macros, this has become an issue of
creating hundreds of macros for me.
