Ahen you enter the field names with a period "." as a separator in Acrobat the name before the separator will be the parent.
So you could call the fields of the first row row1.firstname, row1.lastname ... second row becomes row2.firstname, row2.lastname ... or row[0].firstname, row[1].firstname ... (Please note that although that might look like an array notation it's only part of the name). To access the field you could either use the fully qualified name e.g. "row1.lastname". Or if you'd like to go by "row" you could call getField with "row1! and the use getChildren() to get the direct child field.
