Do you mean this?
array(0,0) eq 'name_1'
array(1,0) eq struct_1

Not possible, the entries of an array all have to be of the same type.
What about something like this?:

a_struct = { name:'', struct:struct_x }
array = [ a_struct, a_struct, a_struct ]
or better: array = replicate( a_struct, 3 )
a_struct(0).name = 'name_1'
a_struct(0).struct = struct_1

Or this:

name_array = [ 'name_1', 'name_2', 'name_3' ]
struct_array = [ struct_1, struct_2, struct_3 ]
