[plt-scheme] problem

As far as I know, there shouldn't be a problem with using a structure  
within another structure. In what way is it not working?

Here's an example of using a posn inside another structure:
(define-struct foo (a))
(define my-foo (make-foo (make-posn 1 2)))
(foo-a my-foo) ;; -> (make-posn 1 2)
(posn-x (foo-a my-foo)) ;; -> 1
