Associating HashMap values with items in a List

[da_rod_father]

Hi, I am iterating through a text file(property file) and storing the
section headers as items in a List. I want to associate specific
property value pairs( that I plan to put in a HashMap) with each
section header in my List, i guess you waould say its kinda of like a
parent child realtionship. I am looking for some guidance in the right
direction on how to properly do this or is this not the way I should be
thinking of the solution? Please let me know?

Thanks

From what you write the most natural seems to have a map with section
names as keys and secondary maps as values (these contain the property
info).
