    Maybe I misunderstood the question.

#declare Sphere1 = x;
#declare Sphere2 = vaxis_rotate(Sphere1, 1, 360*clock);

   sphere { Sphere1, 0.4 pigment { rgb x } } // the object
   sphere { Sphere2, 0.5 pigment { rgb y } } // the rotated object
   cylinder { 0, 1, 0.25 pigment { rgb z } } // the arbitrary axis
