Dan, 

That's just a matter of algorithmic and smart parsing/variable passing.

between handling 

[snip]
newclient = &new client.id++;
[snip]

and 

go to stack clients
create card

I choose the later! OOP is a phylosophy or a point of view...
And with database handling in RR (which I havent tested mind you)
you dont have to do hoops to manage/navigate the info. 

Smart stack design gives you easily relational databases and if you really
need OOP in your stack, you can do a little C++ external as Richard always
suggests ;)

cheers
Xavier
