What you describe is exactly what you expect from the way IDL creates
structures. It says in the manual that every named structure is unique,
and this is also valid for anonimous structures, which are different from
named in only that IDL names them, not you. But if you create two
anonimous structures with same fields, they will have different internal
names and will not be identical, whether this is for good or bad.
I found this feature too and it seems that nice workarounds can be found to
accomplish what you want without needing this sort of concatenation. If
you think about it, you are going to store *exactly* identical data in
*exactly* the same fields... then what is the point of creating two
different structures, unless you do want them to be different somehow?
Cheers,
Pavel
