This is incorrect. Spice (and all Spice format simulators) uses the first letter to determine the type. Since the first letter is "X" that makes it a subcircuit call. A capacitor must start with C. Also, not all simulators take named parameters. Gnucap does, if you get the latest. ... unless your intent is that X1/C1 is a subcircuit call, and Ccomp is the name of the subcircuit.
