Your usage is incorrect.You can use it as :

struct File1
{ 
//Your structure definition
};

struct FILE
{
//Your other members
struct File1 f1;//Here File1 acts as a abstract data type
};

You can also use the same thing above as this :

struct File1
{ 
//Your structure definition
}f1;

struct FILE
{
//Your other members
f1;//Here use f1 directly
};

For more details have a look at this.
