Not exactly, since there could be other things in that alias.  (There
may be an undocumented way to get the contents of an Alias Node, but I
wouldn't go that way if I were you.)

What about:
 env['MYLIB'] = env.StaticLibrary(files)[0]
 ...
 env.Program([file1, file2, '$MYLIB'])
or:
 env.Program(files, LIBS='$MYLIB')

?  (I didn't test that but I think either should work)
