[R] Defining class as a member of another class

[R_help Help]

Thank you Gabor. It works. I read a bit more and understood what you're doing.

One more question, I want to know more about .Data property of a
class. I know that it defines type of the class when asking typeof.
But I don't know much how to use them. Would you mind pointing me to
some reference and example? Thank you again!
