You seem to be missing something here. Structure's can be nested to the Nth
level:
<cfscript>
access_flags = StructNew();
access_flags["is_superuser"] = StructNew();
access_flags["is_superuser"].default_value = 0;
access_flags["is_superuser"].description = "Is this user an
administrator?";
</cfscript>
etc.. etc..

Subject: What's the use of structures, anyway?
Structures seem totally useless to me. If they were two dimensional,
then I could see definite value. I'd love to see something like:
<cfset access_flags["is_superuser"].default_value="false">
<cfset access_flags["is_superuser"].description="Is this user an
administrator?">
<cfset access_flags["is_superuser"].data_type="boolean">
<cfset access_flags["is_superuser"].user_assignment="true">
<cfset access_flags["access_emps"].default_value="false">
<cfset access_flags["access_emps"].description="Does this user have
access to the employee records?">
<cfset access_flags["access_emps"].data_type="boolean">
<cfset access_flags["access_emps"].user_assignment="true">
.. etc ...
As I understand it right now from reading the CF docs and Forta's books,
structures are nothing at all but a one dimensional shorthand way of
passing around a single row of key/value pairs. Am I correct in this?
I guess I'll just use the QueryNew() function and its relatives..
