Or you can also functorize your own piece of code :

module Make (A : sig type t end) =
struct

    module rec H :
    sig
        type 'a node =
            | Node of 'a node J.t
            | Leaf of 'a

        type t = A.t node
        val equal : t -> t -> bool
        val hash : t -> int
    end =
    struct
        type 'a node =
            | Node of 'a node J.t
            | Leaf of 'a

        type t = A.t node
        let equal = (==)
        let hash = Hashtbl.hash
    end

    and J : Hashtbl.S with type key = A.t H.node = Hashtbl.Make( H )

end
