 The problem occurs when a nested definition is used for multiple fields.
 It is solved by extracting the definition then using the tag when defining
 the field, i.e.:
 {{{
 struct foo { ... };

 struct bar {
    ...
    struct foo a, b;
    ...
 };
 }}}

 There's no need to repeat the definition for each field.
