Are you looking for | a sensible usage of vector<Foo*>? vector<Foo*> perfectly fits e.g. for | std::priority_queue. But maybe I misunderstood your question. I see now that you always store the elements in a vector before you create a list of pointers; so that answers my question about where the stuff is stored. Then I need to ask, what the big difference would be between your classes and using boost.multi-index container? Coulnd't the same functionality be found there already? If not, wouldn't it be easy to add the functionality there with a new style of indices. bests -Thorsten
