- A class can have an variable that is an array.
- An array can hold objects.

You can make objects to have links to other objects (reference), then it 
would be a bit array like at the same time it can hold it's data, the 
problem will be that none of the array functions in PHP will work, so I 
think you need to pick one of the two options that have to use real arrays.
