Yes, that's exactly the way it's done in the examples.

Right, you should post closing to the io_service thread, like this:

void my_connection::close()
{
  io_service_.post(boost::bind(&my_connection::do_close, shared_from_this()));
}

void my_connection::do_close()
{
  boost::system::error_code err;
  socket_.close(err);
}
