Edward,

    The nested class can be anything you want it to be. The serialization
aspects will not really make a difference. You just have to be aware of the
semantics. If it is a reference that your class holds, and you pass the
reference around, then changes made to the object that reference points to
will be reflected in the main class. With a value type, it will be copied
upon assignment.

    Hope this helps.
