Why not use a structure containing a type value and a union of the 2
structures that can be passed:

typedef enum
{
    firststructure = 1,
    secondstructure = 2
} MyStructures;

typedef struct
{
   ..........
} structure1;
typedef struct
{
    ........
} structure2;

typedef union
{
    structure1 first;
    structure2 second;
} MyUnion;

typedef struct
{
    MyStructures structur_type;
    MyUnion TheStructure;
} TheArgument;

Obviously you would want to name everything appropriately.
