Another solution is to save the picture:
\startMPcode
draw fullcircle scaled 1cm ;
picture mypicture ; mypicture := currentpicture ;
\stopMPcode
Then, the next call to \startMPcode (or whatever you use) will have
access to the saved picture.
\startMPcode
currentpicture := mypicture ;
draw unitsquare scaled 1cm withcolor red ;
\stopMPcode
currentpicture is reset for each MP call.
Of course, you must not use
save mypicture ; picture mypicture ;
because that will make it local.
