array of pointers to an array pointers

I have my data structures, one array of pointers(outer array), which in turn(each entry) again points to an array of pointers. How can I declare the outer & inner arrays. Can I make it (outer one) a 3 dimensional array.

struct test ***outer_array

each element will be struct test **.

Is there any other alternative way of declaring it?

Please comment

Note: Subject line is "array of pointers to an array of pointers", sorry for mistake

Use some typedefs, like

typedef struct test **inner; // inner is a pointer to a pointer to struct test
typedef inner *outer; // outer is a pointer to an inner.

thanks for your comment. I think this is one of the standard way of declaring these arrays
