Subject: returning symbols

I want to write a method to store a list of some instance variables in
an Array that will later be run through to access their data. Normally
in another language I would do this by passing them by reference when I
store them into the Array. 

Using the object_id doesn't work because that's to the object the
variable is pointing to and this may change.  
So, to sum it up:

Is there a way to get variables to return their symbol so you can access
what they will be referencing in the future ?

thanks,
Daniel
