although of more limited use, i accomplished similar functionality using just a function.

function cycle($array = array()) {
static $index, $nodes;

if ($nodes !== $array && count($array)) {
$nodes = $array;
$index = -1;
}

$index++;
if (!isset($nodes[$index])) {
$index = 0;
}
return $nodes[$index];
}
?>
