I got a helpful hint from Paul Kienzle, look at the end of this letter.

With a list I can do:

a=list([1,2;3,4],[1;2]);
b=list([1,3;2,4],[3;2;4]);
c=list(a,b);

nth(c,1)(1)
ans =
(
  [1] =

    1  2
    3  4

)

and

nth(nth(c,1)(1),1)(1,2)
ans = 2

You can't.  Cell arrays haven't been fully implemented.  

You could use lists, which are equivalent but different:

 a=list([1,2;3,4],[1;2]);
 nth(a,1)
