All arrays are technically single dimensional.  You can do a 2D array
with vectors as

vector< vector< int > > a;

or with maps

map< unsigned  int , map< unsigned int , int > > b;

or a combination of the two.  Keeping the indices straight is,
perhaps, a bit more difficult though, especially if you want to use
push_back().  If you always use operator[], though, you can pretty
much just use indexing in whatever order you'd like, as long as you're
consistent.
