Check out this code: it's giving me the strangest of problems!

When I run it, I see a nice spinning sphere in front of the camera. BUT...
...look at the commented lines now. Uncomment the first one and run the program again.
WHERE THE HECK IS THE SPHERE?!?!
If you rotate the view to left and right with the arrows, you will be sometimes able to see parts of the sphere, but nothing else, and especially
not the CUBE that should appear at 0.0,0.0,-500.0 .
Uncomment the second line now. There's the sphere again, but it's
much closer to the camera than before! Well, at least the cube and the new-made cylinder are in the right position.
Uncomment the last commented line now. Run the program... the line says that a cone should appear on the left of the camera, right?
Unfortunately, the cone appears
in front of the camera!
Why does this happen? I can't imagine what I'm doing wrong!
