  IMO those objects should also be parametrized so that you can change
their geometry with identifiers (or macro parameters).

  For example, you might find a table model which is just perfect, except
that its legs are too tall. There should be an identifier you can declare
before the #include (or before calling the macro) which changes the length
of the legs.

  In the #include file this can be implemented eg. like this:

#ifndef SOMEID_TABLE_LEG_LENGTH
#declare SOMEID_TABLE_LEG_LENGTH = 5;
#end

or, alternatively:

#local SOMEID_TABLE_LEG_LENGTH = 5;
#ifdef SOMEID_TABLE_LEG_FACTOR
  #local SOMEID_TABLE_LEG_LENGTH =
    SOMEID_TABLE_LEG_LENGTH * SOMEID_TABLE_LEG_FACTOR;
#end
