What is a thylacine related to?
Thylacines, now extinct, were dasyurids,or carnivorous marsupials. Therefore, their closest relatives were the other dasyurids, including the numbat of Western Australia, the Tasmanian devil and the quoll.
How does a marsupial carry it young?
Most marsupials carry their developing young in a pouch, a patch of skin open at one end on the female's abdomen (for some, such as the wombat and koala, it opens backwards). However, this is not true for most opossums or for some dasyurids. Some antechinus such as the swamp antechinus develop just a flap of skin for a pouch during breeding season. The kultarr and kowari also have just a fold of skin. The insectivorous numbat of western Australia is a marsupial which has no pouch at all. The ones that lack a pouch simply have the developing young attach themselves to the nipple. If you are talking about the young after they have detached from the nipple, then these alternate between independence and returning to the pouch (or just to the nipple) until full independence is achieved.
