In a deformer plugin, in this procedure:

ModifyObject(PluginObject *mod, BaseDocument *doc, BaseObject *op, const Matrix &op;_mg, const Matrix &mod;_mg, Real lod, LONG flags, BaseThread *thread)

The "Baseobjetc *op" point to the virtual deformed object, I need to get the link to the real object instead!
Or alternatively a way to identify the real object unambiguously.

Is this possible?

Thank's in advance.

You can step up through the caches with GetCacheParent().
This sample code will give you the original object.
