If you're only interested in this for a structure, try using IDL's "automatic
structure definition".

If you create a PROcedure with the same name as the structure, but followed
by __DEFINE (that's two underscores) and save it as a .pro with the same name
then IDL will look for this file the when it encounters a reference to your
undefined structure. Running the code will then define the structure.

The example the online help:

PRO mystruct__define
tmp = { mystruct, a:1.0, b:'string' }
END

We use it all the time and it works a treat. The same method is used for
object definition.
