Justin,
I don't know of a direct way. This could help :

function myCloneObject
Lparameters toObject
Local loCopy, lnMembers
Local Array arrMembers[1]
lnMembers=Amembers(arrMembers,toObject)
Local Array arrStruc[lnMembers,4]
For ix=1 To lnMembers
  arrStruc[ix,1] = arrMembers[ix]
  arrStruc[ix,2] = 'L'
  arrStruc[ix,3] = 1
  arrStruc[ix,4] = 0
Endfor
Create Cursor dummy From Array arrStruc
Scatter Name loCopy
Use In 'dummy'
For ix = 1 To lnMembers
  loCopy.&arrMembers[ix] = toObject.&arrMembers[ix]
Endfor
Return loCopy
