class = { MYCLASS, contours:ObjArr(nElements)}

would do it, but it will be a fixed number of elements, and the passed
'contours' would have to match that. If that's what you need, then fine,
but I bet you need flexibility. All I can see for a solution right now
is using a pointer:

class = { MYCLASS, contours:Ptr_New(/Allocate_Heap)}

then, to assign it:
*self.contours = contours

and to refer to one contour:
(*self.contours)[i]

Sorry if I'm stating the obvious... or am *I* missing something?

Cheers,
