The image shows a nested data type definition Company that references the following complex data type definitions: Employee, Address, and Contact.

The nested data type definition Company references the following complex data type definitions:

In the complex data type definition Company, the array element Employees references the complex data type definition Employee.

In the complex data type definition Employee, the Emp_Address element references the complex data type definition Address.

In the complex data type definition Employee, the Emp_Contact element references the complex data type definition Contact.

In a recursive data type definition, one of the complex data type definitions at any level is the same as any of its parents. You cannot reference a recursive data type definition to a struct port or a struct element in a complex port.
