I'm not sure I understand the question entirely, but the pfSwitch node might
provide the functionality you're looking for. If you build something like
this:

                pfDCS
|
              pfSwitch
             / | \
           obj1 obj2 obj3 ... and so on

Then you make modifications to the pfDCS and switch geometry using
mySwitch->setVal(int which)
Whichever geometry you use, it will appear at the point specified by the DCS.

Happy Performing.
