@Hakea : I'm a newbie to BlitzMax as well; I'm being over-cautious with my comments - don't mind me.

For my own data management I created a Node class :


.. partial code ..

Type Node

	Field nParent:Node
	Field nChild:Node
	Field nPrev:Node
	Field nNext:Node
	
	Field sName:String
	
	Global numNodes = 0

	'Constructor
	Method New()
		
		nParent = Null
		nChild = Null
		nPrev = Self
		nNext = Self
		
		numNodes:+1
		
	End Method

... code continues

I was going to use this as the basis for a primitive scene graph and use the position in the tree to determine sort order / render. I can add / detach / delete Nodes from each other...
