I don't understand your example, which is syntactically invalid.
Assuming you put semicolons where they belong and that the two
"outer" structures are declared within the same scope (the same
file, block, or function prototype, depending on the context),
then the first "struct tag2" is still in scope when the second
one is encountered, so it is a complete type at that point.
