Actually, it does.

The "p_" variables are declared by including the header file that
declares the corresponding function, but doing so *AFTER* including
"plugin_api.h".

"plugin_api.h" defines "get_CDR_any", for example, as
"(*p_get_CDR_any)"; if you include "plugin_api.h" *before* including
"packet-giop.h", the lines

void get_CDR_any(tvbuff_t *tvb, proto_tree *tree, gint *offset, gboolean stream_is_big_endian,
		 int boundary, MessageHeader * header );

in "packet_giop.h" are changed by the #define of "get_CDR_any" to be

void (*p_get_CDR_any)(tvbuff_t *tvb, proto_tree *tree, gint *offset, gboolean stream_is_big_endian,
		 int boundary, MessageHeader * header );
