IDL only defines an Interface, so it may not make sense to define a 
linked list in IDL. Of course, if you really like to model a linked list 
on the interface level, you could write something like:

module Example {
   interface ListItem;

   interface ListItem {
     int GetValue();
     ListItem Next();
   };
};
