Does anyone know how to embed an arraylist with another arraylist? I've thought abt the idea of creating the arraylists in different classes then importing from 1 class into another but this doesnt seem right to me anyone got any suggestions?

How do you mean embed? Not sure what you're trying to do.

ArrayLists are similar Linked Lists in C++. Each List elemen is an object.

if you want to set an ArrayList element to be another ArrayList it can be done but is a bad model.

it would be bertter to have each Arraylist element containing a container object.

See below for a rough example

You could have an 'ArrayList ' of customer order stored in object 'custOrders'

each 'custOrders' item could be an 'orderItems' object.

OrderItems could either extend ArrayList or encapsulate an Array list depending on functionality required.

it's hard to suggest a solution as I don;t really know what the problem is

Post an example of what you're trying to do and I'll see if i can help
