instead of accessing the members directly

<pre>
bool compare_myObjects(const CMyObject &a, const CMyObject &b) 
{
    return a.x < b.x;
}

bool operator<(const& MyClass lhs, const& MyClass rhs)
{
// insert comparison code here
}
bool operator>(const& MyClass lhs, const& MyClass rhs)
{
// insert comparison code here
}
bool operator==(const& MyClass lhs, const& MyClass rhs)
{
// insert comparison code here
}
etc. etc.
