### Examples

```csharp
using System;
using System.Text;
using UnityEngine;
using UnityEditor;

public class SerializePropertyDepthExample : ScriptableObject
{
    // Declare fields to demonstrate data at different depths
    public int m_depth0;

    [Serializable]
    public struct Nested
    {
        public int m_depth1;

        [Serializable]
        public struct NestedInNested
        {
            public int m_depth2;
            public Vector2 m_vectorDepth2; // Contains x,y at depth 3
        };
        public NestedInNested m_Nested1;
    };
    public Nested m_Nested0;
    public bool m_boolDepth0;
