  There appears to be two things wrong with the above declarations, based
upon my understanding of C syntax:

  (1) You should declare Ablock before it is referenced in Anotherblock.

  (2) Likewise, the typedef declaration should appear *after* the
      declaration of Acombination.

  There is no reason why you should have forward declarations in this code,
and to my knowledge they are illegal in any case.

  Hope that helps.
