This is the way to do it.
It's a pretty common problem (and a commonly overlooked problem IME),
but you'll find it occurs in many C bindings. A couple of examples in
libraries that I have been involved with:
ocaml-libvirt (http://git.annexia.org/?p=ocaml-libvirt.git;a=summary)
- The relationship between connections (owner) and domains (owned).
ocamlode
- Many objects are related, similar to your example.
