The Internet - where men are men, women are men, and teenage girls are FBI agents!

...reminds me of a dog that comes charging out of the dog house at anything that walks by, man, mouse or tar baby 'til he reaches the end of his chain, barking, growling, snarling, slobbering while wagging his tail at the same time just in case. Then turns around and mopes his way back, another day of of abject futility on the end of his chain.
How can you possibly take anything seriously?
Who cares?

I maintain my original suggestion:
The correct locution is "In the thus defined structure.", which is both correct and explicit. I agree that 'previously' may be ambiguous in the context you mention but you may use "In the last-named (or even last-defined) structure." for the greatest precision.
Thanks !
I'll go with "thus defined structure".

Both the second and third editons define "thusly" thusly:
In this manner; to this degree; thus
the second edition appends the term colloq.
Hey KvH, glad to hear it come in good shape.
The thusly defined thusly sounds about right....

PS odd, you can switch the noun & adverb(?) uses of "thusly" in that sentence and it's meaning does not change.
Well here is my 2 cents, "thus" is the proper form "thusly" is only used when you taking the piss out of some pedantic twat...
Every seen the scifi comedy "Red dwarf" , and Rimmer BS'ing about his studies....that is the only time I have heard "thusly" used, and it seemed to hit the spot then
