Yes. I am on a development team for a very large C project, and we've had
lots of success with things like this:

MYCLASS.H :

typedef struct myclass {
  ...
  ...
} Myclass;

void MyclassInit( Myclass *raw, ... );
void MyclassSomeFunction( Myclass *raw, ..);

MYCLASS.C :

#include "myclass.h"
void MyclassInit( Myclass *raw, ... ) { ... }
void MyclassSomeFunction( Myclass *raw, ..) { ... };

The syntax is a bit more wordy than the same thing in C++, but it makes it
very easy to understand the modularization.
