I must admit though I hadn't considered using a mapping. You had a point 
about using an array and keeping the sub-actions at the same level (so they 
can be easily referenced), supposedly doing an array for each action in the 
queue and all its sub-actions. Doing it that way will make my final 
objective harder though, so ideally I still need to be able to nest actions 
within action_queues within actions within action_queues...
