That's the problem line. To my well trained programmer's eye (he he he, yeah
right) it is immediately appearent that something is amiss.

For proper coding & indention, it should look like this:

  object {
    SphereMacro(15, 1, 1.5, 10)
  }

Notice the lack of a closing parenthesis on your code? That's the give-away.
Now, we go back up where SphereMacro is defined and see...

yes. It's a macro, not a #declare.

Just change to this and all is well:

SphereMacro(15, 1, 1.5, 10)

No more 'object' needed.

Or, if you really want to use 'object', then just

#delcare anInstance = SphereMacro(15, 1, 1.5, 10)
object {
  anInstance
}
