You are redeclaring the package type. When converting type, the conversion semantics is simply mytype(a) and conversion occurs if the rule that you mention is respected. I suppose that you need to have your own struct to store date, with a different name everything works. The package type is indeed inaccessible. It is used in the parameter list of the func that you call.
