This compiles, I think the  "mystery *mystery" you had is not good to
have an identifier name also be that of a type.  I changed "mystery"
to "mystery_VAR" below.  (not sure it is doing what you want, though).

struct mysteryStruct  {
    struct mysteryStruct *next;
    int                   dontCare;
};

typedef struct mysteryStruct mystery;

mystery *nextMystery;                /* Pointer declaration - no problem */
mystery  mysteryPool[ 200 ];            /* Array of structs - no problem */

mystery *                                  /* Function type - no problem */
problem(
    mystery *mystery_VAR )             /* Parameter declaration - no problem */
{
    mystery *hosed;        /* Auto variable declaration - choke and die! */

    hosed = mystery_VAR->next = nextMystery;
    nextMystery = mystery_VAR;
    return( hosed );
}
