... I guess its a no...
I give up...
I think GS should put a list of all available "request" information in the AC GDL manual...
p.s.: Or those one in pages 241-251 of the AC GDL Ref Manual are the only ones?...

In the index of the GDL Reference Manual you will find a list of all REQUEST functions starting on page 294 in the AC12 manual.
I was going to say that you should look into SQl because using that you may be able to extract this info out of the Project File, but in case you want to use that in GDL then it is problematic.
On the other hand, if you get this data with an SQL query, save if into a TXT or XML file then you could read that info back in GDL.
Just guessing, I do not know what you need this for.
Hi Laslo,
Your guess was right on target...
I want to use the composite information in a gdl object...
It would be great to use this stored information instead of inputting it manually for each object...
Anyway... Your SQL workaround at first seems great!...
I'll give it a try. Thank you!

Great!... I manage to extract all the information I need... 
Now I have a question...
If I save an SQL query as a xml file... The query is static or dynamic?...
I mean... If I change the composite information, when the gdl object access the xml file the information will be updated?...

Then the GDL script will be able to work with that updated info the next time it is executed.
For exampe, if the code that reads these values is in the Master Script or the 2D Script, then there is that CTRL-SHIFT-ALT-R command (Rebuild and Regenerate command, I think). That should re-execute the GDL script with the new values.
I am giving this from memory, I believe this is how it should work.

It would make the object too complex for the average AC user...
But... I was reading this in the AC12 GDL Reg Manual (page 260):
"REQUEST (extension_name, parameter_string, variable1, variable2, ...)
If the question isn’t one of those listed above, the REQUEST() function will attempt to use it as an extension-specific name. If this extension is
in the Add-Ons folder, it will be used to get as many values for as many variable names as are specified. The parameter string is interpreted by
the extension."
If I got it right... We can use an extension name as a request and extract information stored inside it...
So... I found in the folder addons/standard an extension named "attribute manager"...
Maybe some of our api gurus here in the forum could point to a good solution for this...
For me its definitely the "Dark Side of the GDL"...
