Ok, I've changed things a little bit.

This is the code I have now:

class NODE;

typedef NODE *PNODE;                // PNODE is a pointer to a node
typedef PNODE NODE_LINKS[];         // NODE_LINKS is an array of pointers to
nodes
typedef NODE_LINKS *PNODE_LINKS;    // PNODE_LINKS is a pointer to a NODE_LINK
typedef PNODE_LINKS NODE_SLOTS[];   // NODE_SLOTS is an array of PNODE_LINKS
typedef NODE_SLOTS *PNODE_SLOTS;    // PNODE_SLOTS is a pointer to a NODE_SLOT

This doesn't seem to work right.  For starters, I've removed the uNumLinks
field, so there are no more counters.  I've decided to use a sentinal instead
of a count field, because I only rarely need the number of links, and when I
do, it's not a real-time requirement.

Unfortunately, this setup gives me really screwy code.  I'm tempted to throw
this whole array thing out the window and just do something like

typedef NODE ***PNODE_SLOTS;

which is what I had way in the beginning.  I guess my real question is:

If I know something is a pointer to an array of pointers to an array of
pointers to NODE's, can I treat them as a pointer to a pointer to a pointer to
a NODE?
