omniidl is right. Section 3.15.2 of the 2.3 spec says

  "The name of an interface, value type, struct, union, exception or a
   module may not be redefined within the immediate scope of the
   interface, value type, struct, union, exception, or the module. For
   example:

     module M {
       typedef short M; // Error
       interface I {
         void i(in short j); // Error: i clashes with the interface
                             // name I
       };
     };
  "

Cheers,

Duncan.
