The first part of your type point can be anything u want. BUT the part after the dot, must be the actual type name.

[CODE]
Type thingA
field x,y
End Type
Type thingB
field x,y
End Type

TA.thingA = new thingA
TB.thingA = new thingA
[/code]

But, why have two type collections, which contain the same data? why not do...

[CODE]
Type thingA
field x,y
End Type

TA.thingA = new thingA
TB.thingA = new thingA
[/code]

then

If This=True 
do_stuff(TA.thingA) 
Else 
do_stuff(TB.thingA) 
End if 


function do_stuff(t.thingA) 
t\x = t\x +1 
end function

TB.thingA and TA.thingA are different type objects, using the type collection "thingA"
