class Action {
   virtual void doSomeThing( Man &M ) = 0;
}

class RunAction : public Action {
   virtual void doSomeThing( Man &M );
}

class JumpAction : public Action {
  virtual void doSomeThing( Man &M );
}

class ETC :public Action {...


class Man {
    int x,y,z;
    ---------
    Action *NextThink;

    void nextthink() {
        this->NextTink.doSomeThing( this );
    }
}


Hope that helps.
