You could do this with a EuSQL table.  An easy way to set this up would 
be to use my Euphoria Database Browser.  Then you could do something 
like:

x = get_record( my_db, company_table, "My Company, Inc.",
  "contact.name.first", "")

Basically, a field can be a sequence containing other subfields, to 
whatever level you like.
