[Click] help with click packet structure and push, pull mechanism

think 
I will try options 3 and then 1 below.

To define a new type (similar to Packet), can I just
follow instructions mentioned in the FAQ on compiling
a C++ file that doesnt contain an element or do I have
to do something more?

Or can i just write a new class similar to what Packet
class looks like and add it to click/lib?

Thanks
Gesly
