I would do either a procedural or colour/bump map of the object but wouldnt
create the light/shdow map of the object with that in place until I had the
camera and lighting sorted. Then I would map from that POV or, if it was
animated, I would comp it in as a separate pass. For games I would
approximate the shadow positions, essentially arguing a static light source
and map the whole object. Or something.
Essentially what I would do is do the texture, then create a replacement map
with the object in that texture (which is discarded) plus the lighting. Ends
up with one colour map of both texture and lighting.
Dont bother with mapping all that much having far more fun with procedurals
but then again, I'm not doing games work.
Not sure if this is any use or even what you are after here.
