For this example, yes.

For some reason it's not working for me when the struct is external:

--- foo.h ---

struct pair {
        int x;
        int y;
};

------

--- footest.pyx ---
cdef extern from "foo.h":
    ctypedef struct pair

cdef class Pair:
    cdef pair *p

# ... the rest as you had it

------

Pyrex generates a .c file without problems, but it won't compile:

    pyrex_init_test2.c:38: error: syntax error before "pair"

The offending code is

struct __pyx_obj_16pyrex_init_test2_Pair {
  PyObject_HEAD
  pair (*p);   /* <--- this is line 38 */
};

Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
