Fabio, do you mind my asking why you need this?
Some years ago I created a struct in HC, where each line of a container 
held four items - a value, two pointers (line numbers) to the previous 
and next item in the binary tree, and a pointer (a line number) into 
another container which held text lines. I used this for cycles of an 
evaluation then re-arrangement of the data using recursive routines.
Of course, when I moved this stack to Rev recently, I could now sort 
numeric by item 1 (the current value) so the whole pseudo-structure of 
linked lists and elegant recursive code were flicked in favour of 
simplicity and ten times the speed.

You can emulate a struct by using items or lines in a container to hold 
the data or pointers, and remembering how you are using it.

Stick instances of the above container into an array using any old index 
that suits you.
