Not necessarily --- there's a shell-type (or type forward reference,
if you prefer) feature that exists to handle exactly that apparent
circularity. Otherwise you could never define a user-defined type at
all, since you have to define its I/O procedures before you can do
CREATE TYPE.
I didn't study your proposal in detail, but it might work.
