Hi

The easy route is to use the Site Hierarchy module in Drupal. After enabling this module, you can edit any existing content via Administer > Content Management > Content, scroll down to Node Hierarchy, and select a parent. If you dont see this option, make sure you have enabled the Can Be Child option in the Content Type for the content you are editing, and the Can Be Parent option for the one you want to be the parent (use the Administer > Content Management > Content Types page).

Being able to add fields to a content type and even having the ability to set them to multiple(so that you can allow more than one entry, producing an array) is great, but it soon breaks down when you want to represent a complex or compound object. This is something I do all the time in ActionScript by writing classes or value objects for example, a Button which might be defined as having a label and a link (or path).
