It is not easy to understand how you mean it.

- you could simply define function with multiple arguments

- you can pass single argument which has many items, like you could pass list, plist or alist or hash

(setq my-hash (make-hash-table :test 'equal))
(puthash "Name" "Heime" my-hash)
(puthash "Age" 37 my-hash)
(puthash "Skills" '(Programmer Scientist) my-hash)

(defun my-fun (hash)
  (let ((name (gethash "Name" hash))
	(age (gethash "Age" hash))
	(skills (gethash "Skills" hash)))
    (format "Your name is %s, your age %s and your skills are: %s" name age skills)))

(my-fun my-hash) ➜ "Your name is Heime, your age 37 and your skills are: (Programmer Scientist)"

That way you are passing `hash' as single argument which may have unlimited other arguments indirectly..
