A sequence type is a set of elements of the same type, that has a variable number of elements. In UNO IDL, the used element always references an existing and known type or another sequence type. A sequence can occur as a normal type in all other type definitions.

  sequence< com::sun::star::uno::XInterface >
  sequence< string > getNamesOfIndex( sequence< long > indexes );
