iOS/Swift/Parse - Struct not storing data -

i'm having trouble storing data parse in struct. have set uitableviewcontroller use separate struct file get/manage data parse. struct gets data parse (confirmed using println), when try , reference data populate table, struct empty again. below 2 files (several methods omitted try , make more concise here). had working correctly when used separate class (instead of struct) parse data, have since decided struct better needs. can spot going wrong struct? many thanks.

console output

resultsarray.count = 45 filled objectlist.count = 1 objects @ index0.count = 45 testprint objectlist.count = 0

uitableviewcontroller

import uikit import parse  class exercisemuscletypetableviewcontroller: uitableviewcontroller {    //  mark: variables    var citadel: citadel = citadel()    //  mark: ibactions    @ibaction func refreshbutton(sender: uibarbuttonitem) {     citadel.testprint()   }    //  mark: override    override func viewdidload() {     super.viewdidload()      citadel = citadel(parseclassname: "exerciselist", orderedby: "muscleprimary")   }  } 

struct connecting parse

import foundation import parse  struct citadel {    //  mark: properties    var objectlist: [[pfobject]] = [[pfobject]]()   var sectionheaders: [string] = [string]()   var parseclassname: string?   var userid: string?    //  mark: methods    func testprint() {     println("testprint, objectlist.count = \(self.objectlist.count)")   }    //  mark: init    init(parseclassname: string, orderedby: string) {      //    set structure's properties      self.parseclassname = parseclassname     self.objectlist = [[pfobject]]()     self.sectionheaders.removeall(keepcapacity: true)      if let id = pfuser.currentuser()!.objectid {       self.userid = id     }      //  format query data parse      var query = pfquery(classname: parseclassname)     query.orderbyascending(orderedby)     query.findobjectsinbackgroundwithblock { (queryresult: [anyobject]?, error: nserror?) -> void in        if let resultsarray = queryresult as? [pfobject] {         println("resultsarray.count = \(resultsarray.count)")         self.objectlist = [resultsarray]         println("filled objectlist.count = \(self.objectlist.count)")         println("objects @ index0.count = \(self.objectlist[0].count)")        }     }   }       } 

it looks me issue because you're initializing struct variable here: var citadel = citadel(), you're reinitializing in viewdidload. try declaring var var citadel: citadel? , initialize in viewdidload , see if helps out.
