[omniORB] Conflict with "StructMember"

[Mike Ladwig]

I'm sorry, I made a mistake in my original posting; I was trying to get
InterfaceDef, and not TypeCode.  The problem still remains.  I have been
able to reproduce the problem using the "echo" example from the
distribution:  modify the "echo.idl" file to include <ir.idl> and have
the automatically generated stub/skeleton and header file manifest the
errors.

To test it, I had to modify (the two -I directives with "mike" mentioned
are mine) the mk.unix file to add include paths so the idl and .hh files
could find things properly:

OMNIORB2_IDL_ANY_FLAGS = -a -I/home/mike/omniORB_2.7.1/idl
OMNIORB2_IDL = $(OMNIORB2_IDL_ONLY) $(OMNIORB2_IDL_ANY_FLAGS)
OMNIORB2_CPPFLAGS = -D__OMNIORB2__ -I$(CORBA_STUB_DIR)
$(OMNITHREAD_CPPFLAGS) -I/home/mike/omniORB_2.7.1/include/omniORB2

mike.
