i read all the boost manual, but i don't have found how serialize nested
structures editing only the first struct.

i can't put the serialize method in the Container because Container contains
a lot of other structures, and these structures contain other structures and
so on.

I wish I could serialize all serializing only the parent class

Can you help me, pointing the manual section with this, or show me a basic
example?
Thank you so much.
