After a create, clone, or copy command the local variable "it" contains 
the long ID of the new object.

So you can keep your focus on the stack containing your template group 
objects, referring to them by short name, and the long ID returned in 
"it" will help you if you need to do anything else in the newly copied 
group:

on CopyObjects
   set the defaultStack to "MyTemplateObjects"
   copy grp "MyThang" to stack "Whatever"
   set the loc of it to 100,100
   copy grp "MyOtherThang" to stack "Whatever"
   set the loc of it to 100,400
end CopyObjects
