There is a new MapNested class on Matlabs File-exchange: http://de.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/fileexchange/62492-mapnested-implementation-for-nested-maps--map-of-maps-
or on github:
https://github.com/RolandRitt/Matlab-NestedMap Check it out!
The syntax for setting an value is the following:
NMapobj = MapNested(); %constructor;
NMapobj(key1, key2, key3) = value;
for retrieving:
value = NMapobj(key1, key2, key3);
