Brain,

If you take a look at the actual macro, you'll see that it is just a 
'simple' rotate plus two translations.

Actually, I'm starting to wonder what it is you want to acheive? In 
youre first post you want to rotate a cylinder, with one cap in the 
origin, around the z-axis:

cylinder {
  <0,0,0>, <cap_somewhere>, 1
  rotate <0,0,clock*360>
}

Then you want to know the position of the other cap after rotation:

#declare CapPosition = vrotate(<cap_somewhere>,<0,0,clock*360>)

Now you want to use Rotate_Around_Trans, so ...?
