Any tricks for getting around instancing?

Am I correct to understand that vClone can be used to create a circular array of a set of objects, and then if any of the original objects are modified, all of its duplicates will be modified too?

If so, can someone please tell me exactly how to use vClone like this? Despite being a programmer, I'm not sure what is meant by:
select the vectors
means exactly. I just want to do a simple, circular array.

Thanks!
