Views are just macro expansions of queries (in a manner of speaking).  
To make queries on views use indexes, you create the indexes on the 
underlying tables in the same way as if you had typed in the expanded 
view query yourself.  (In your example, you'd just need the usual 
indexes on the primary keys.)

If what you want is that the creation of an index on a view 
automatically materializes that view (don't other database systems do 
that?), then you will have to implement that manually in PostgreSQL, 
with triggers and a bunch of code.
