Yes.

The issue was that I wanted to make a pointer to the struct I am currently (re-)defining:

struct MyStruct {
   MyStruct *foobar;
};

Works fine when pointing to other structs. Should code generation work for this case? :-)

This is how it should be written. Does MyStruct exist when you're writing
this method? If yes, is there a refence to that class in ExternalType's
StructTypes class variable?
