The documentation could certainly clarify that issue.  But what you suggest
would not be correct.  E.g. the following is (and should be) allowed:

	:- pragma c_header_code("
		int get_foo(void);
		void set_foo(int);
	").
	:- pragma c_code("

		static int foo;

		int get_foo(void) {
			return foo;
		}

		void set_foo(int val) {
			foo = val;
		}

	").
