No, I don't.  Don't be so obtuse.  I included the code I was
originally commenting on, in my first followup.  My comment about
showing code was about your second posting.  Let me repeat the two
important paragraphs (quoted above) taken from that posting:

The phrase "even when I remove both struct tags" describes code, it
doesn't show the code.

 I showed this example a few lines later which has both struct tags omitted:

  But before I get there, I say:

 That would be something like this:
      typedef struct tag {float x, y;} Point;
     typedef struct tag {float x, y;} vector;
 I suggested:

 That would be something like this where both 'struct tag' can co-exist:
      typedef struct tag {float x, y;} Point;
     {
        typedef struct tag {float x, y;} vector;
        ... rest of example that assigns v to p
     }
