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.
