4D Digestive System Structure

Note: I'm talking about a fourth spatial dimension.

As far as I can tell, a 2 dimensional creature has one possible digestive system structure; have a cavity inside its body connected to the outside by one point (a mouth). Food and waste would enter and exit through the same mouth. (I suppose they could have more orifices, but not without a hooking mechanism.)

Three dimensional creatures could do the same thing, but they can also have a tube structure, where food enters at one orifice, progresses through the tube, and then exits at another orifice. They could also have additional openings throughout the tube, as long as they can stay as one connected body.

I assume that a four dimensional creature could have a third 'structure'. How could one describe it, and would it be more useful?
