You want to use the CSG (Constructive Solid Geometry) functions union or
merge, as in:

union { cylinder { <-2,0,0> <0,0,0> 1 }
             sphere { <0,0,0> 1 }
             cone { <0,0,0> 1 <0,2,0> 2 }
             pigment { red 1 }
           }

this is, of course, merely an example. You can replace union with merge,
but this example wouldn't show the difference. It is more noticable with
semi transparent color.

Also be sure to check the docs. The first tutorial will take you through
the basics in a very well written manner.
