Is there anything that prevents you from converting polylines into regions?
If nothing stand in the way, convert polylines into regions and your SQL
will work.

Besides, in MapInfo, polylines have no centroid , only closed objects have
one. How can you then say that they are in the same positions as the points?

If your land cover regions are bounded by a set of polylines, that most
polylines are common boundaries for adjacent regions, then you would have to
structure your map as a set of regions before you can use calls addressing
regions (like in A.obj).

Hoping it helps.
