You can use an a array property. For example,

*!* Off-the-cuff example follows
DEFINE CLASS myObject AS CUSTOM
  DIMENSION oObjects[1]
  oObjects = .NULL.
  PROCEDURE INIT()
    LOCAL lni
    DIMENSION this.oObjects[3]
    WITH this
      FOR lni = 1 TO ALEN( .oObjects )
        .oObjects[lni] = CREATEOBJECT('TextBox')
      NEXT lni
    ENDWITH

    PROCEDURE Destroy
      WITH THIS
        FOR lni = 1 TO ALEN( .oObjects )
          .oObjects[lni] = .NULL.
        NEXT lni
        .oObjects = .NULL.
      ENDWITH 
    ENDPROC
  ENDPROC
ENDDEFINE

Note the destroy method. It's very important to set the object elements to .NULL. before you destroy the parent object, or you'll be left with orphan object references and the form won't release.
