C Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. main.c
  2. =====
  3. struct names{  // definitions
  4. -----
  5. ----
  6. ----
  7. } 
  8.  
  9. struct names x;
  10.  
  11. function1(&x);
  12.  
  13. file2.c
  14. ======
  15. function1(struct names *x){
  16. ----
  17. ----
  18. ----
  19.  
  20. }

am getting warning: 'struct names' declared inside parameter list

I guess it's
c Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. struct names{
  2. // ....
  3. } x;

or put it this way
c Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
  1. struct names{
  2. // ...
  3. };
  4.  
  5. struct names x;
Get up every morning and take a look at the Forbes' list of richest people. If your name doesn't appear.... GET TO WORK !!!

You're missing a semi-colon after defining the struct.

Should be:
struct names{  // definitions
-----
----
----
};

It's a good time to remember header files. Place the structure definition in .h file then include it in both main.c and file2.c. Now you have common structure (and other types) definition source.
A compiler knows nothing about main.c contents when processes file2.c.
