I'm not sure I understand the problem. Instead of texturing MyObject
inside the object declaration add the texture when you use the object -

#declare MyObject = (object only declaration here)

...

object { MyObject translate whatever - add texture }

The above will result in the texture centered at the origin while the
object can be anywhere in your scene.
