Simple object pool template container in C++
Don't do this:

using namespace std;


In anything other than a toy this will cause problems.   

I don't like this:

#define itv(TYPE) std::vector&lt;TYPE&gt;::iterator


With C++11 this type if thing has been resolved by auto.

I would also define the iterator in terms of the object pool:

template &lt;class TYPE&gt;
struct object_pool
{
    typedef std::vector&lt;TYPE&gt;::iterator  iterator;


I would hide the fact that internally the object_pool uses a vector and queue. I would then add the obligatory functions to extract information:

template &lt;class TYPE&gt;
class object_pool
{
    std::vector&lt;TYPE&gt; pool;
    std::queue&lt;size_t&gt; avail;

  public:
    typedef std::vector&lt;TYPE&gt;::iterator       iterator;
    typedef std::vector&lt;TYPE&gt;::const_iterator const_iterator;

    iterator       begin()       { return pool.begin();}
    iterator       end()         { return pool.end();}
    const_iterator begin() const { return pool.begin();}
    const_iterator end()   const { return pool.end();}


To access elements I would also provide const version

    TYPE&amp;       operator[](std::size_t index)       { return pool[index];}
    TYPE&amp;       at(std::size_t index)               { return pool.at(index);}

    TYPE const&amp; operator[](std::size_t index) const { return pool[index];}
    TYPE const&amp; at(std::size_t index) const         { return pool.at(index);}


The methods that can be const should be const:

    size_t size() const { return pool.size(); }
             //  ^^^^^^^


The implementation details are fine.  

    void add(size_t &amp; pos)
    {
        if(avail.empty()) // no reusable object
        { pool.push_back(TYPE()); pos = pool.size()-1; }
        else
        { pos = avail.back(); avail.pop(); }
    }
    void rem(size_t &amp; a) { avail.push(a); }


I would change the add() so it returned pos:

    size_t add();


Also the vector starts off very small and re-sizes to get bigger.
To make sure that it does not re-size too often I would add a constructor that gives the vector a reasonable size to start with:

object_pool::object_pool()
{
    pool.reserve(1000);
}


But I think you are using the wrong technique.
I would use a pool allocator and plug it into the vector.
