There are two reasons why the second code snippet won't work. First, and most importantly, the Session scope is not a member of some other structure. The square bracket "array" syntax only allows you to access members of a structure. Second, that syntax only works with structure members if you specify the structure as well. So, even if you had a variable named "foo" that happened to be within the structure "bar" that itself was within another structure "baz", you couldn't talk about ["bar"].foo, only about baz["bar"].foo or baz.bar.foo or baz["bar"]["foo"].
