If they're in an equal number, why not just make a new class?

/********** 8< **********/

typedef struct PalBmp
{
  PALETTE pal; /* 256 RGB[A] records */
  BITMAP *bmp; /* 
}

PalBmp *images;

void AllocImages(int nImages)
{
  images = malloc(sizeof(PalBmp) * nImages);
}

/********** 8< **********/

But you still can't display more than one 256-color palette on a
256-color screen.

free(images);
images = NULL;

If they're truecolor, you don't need PALETTEs at all!  In that case,
you can just make an array of BITMAP *.
