Which one is the array here? tolua will only see a pointer to MystType on 
that definition.. you could do something like:

MystType ValArray(hType hPool, MystType InitArray[N], int MaxSize );

where 'N' is the (static) size of the array.. You can also have an object 
with an operator[].. But you won't be able to use the pointer as an array 
from lua, because pointers are passed to lua as references to the object 
they point to.

most likely, yes..
