Dear Serge,

If I understand correctly what you are asking, then you can make it work by
wrapping the definition of topicf in an existential:

  module R = struct
    type topicf = TF : ((module I with type message = 'a) -> 'a -> 'a) ->
topicf
    and topic = { func: topicf; name: string }
    ...
  end

then, given test, you can create an R.topic by doing

  { R.func = TF test; name = "test" }

Best wishes,
Nicolás
