I would look at tuples for the variable part.

As far as having it in a table, you could try to use a vector and write 
your own compare function.  That way you could have:

std::vector<tuple<int, int, float, int>, compare class > ...  My syntax 
is most likely off, but you get the idea.

It as been a while since I have done any hardcore template programming 
,but maybe this will help start you down the right path.
