Re: pass a structure as reference parameter.

I guess it's 
  1. struct names{
  2. // ....
  3. } x;

or put it this way
  1. struct names{
  2. // ...
  3. };
  4.  
  5. struct names x;

Re: pass a structure as reference parameter.

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

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

Re: pass a structure as reference parameter.

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.
