I am so glad when I got to use C, I already had a good school of modular programming languages behind me.
On my own projects, like university assignments, I would treat each translation unit as a kind of module, anything that for whatever reason could not be in a handle structure would be a internal static (years later I started using TLS instead), and in some cases incomplete structs as means to avoid the temptation to directly access internal data.
