Shortcut to refer to a type field?

Is there a shortcut of some kind that lets you refer to fields of nested types easily without having to do loads of field.field.field.x ? I'm kinda new to using types. Didn't the original BlitzBasic have such a feature?

e.g.

Type mytype
   Field avar:Int
End Type

Type mytype2
   Field bvar:mytype
   Field cvar:Int
End Type

Type mytype3
   Field dvar:mytype2
   Field evar:Int
End Type

Thing:mytype3=New mytype3

'How do I do this with less code:
Print Thing.dvar.bvar.avar

Is there some command that lets you refer only to the `mytype` fields? e.g.

Print .avar?

Or am I getting confused with `Self` and should be doing Object Oriented?
