I ask this on this mailing list because there are quite a few mathematically oriented people here. Casey -- -- Regards, KC

If you accept the Law of Excluded Middle, everything either has a matroid structure, or not. On the other hand, if you do not accept it, then there may be some combinatorial algorithms which have neither (because we have not found a matroid structure, or proved one does not exist). Either way, I do not understand the point of your question. -Brent
