I'm not sure but I think Leigh is trying to say that your notion of "indirect" is irrelevant:

typedef <something> P;
typedef P*    PP;
typedef PP*   PPP;
typedef PPP*  PPPP;
typedef PPPP* PPPPP;

PPPPP x = ppppp();

In the end, _x_ is a pointer to something of type PPPP.  As far as _x_ is concerned, it really does not matter what PPPP is.  If you try to evaluate _*x_, that's a different matter but then you're really no longer talking about _x_ at that point because _*x_ evaluates to a different (tho related) type.

As for your point, well... I'm not really sure what your point is but I'm beginning to think that the two of you are in violent agreement, you just don't realize it.
