For mutable structures you use the "context" concept, which is also used to build a form of OOP.

For cyclic data structures, I'm not sure. I think one can pass a function, a list or a context to a function that expects a list. This it might do the trick.

From Wikipedia:

> Sharing of sub-objects among objects, cyclic structures, or multiple variables pointing to the same object are not supported in newLISP.

Dang.
