Grease 20cm x 30cm lamington pan. Sift flours into bowl, rub in butter; add egg yolks and enough water to make ingredients cling together. Knead dough gently on lightly floured surface until smooth. Cover, refrigerate 30 minutes.
Roll pastry on floured surface large enough to line base and sides of prepared pan. Make a double edge of pastry from scraps, join with a little egg white. Trim edges, pinch edges decoratively.
Line pastry with paper, fill with dried beans or rice. Bake at 200°C for 15 minutes, remove paper and beans, bake further 12 minutes or until lightly browned; cool.
Spoon rice into pastry case, top with half the vegetable filling; pour over half the pumpkin filling. Top with remaining vegetable filling, cheese, then remaining pumpkin filling. Bake, uncovered, at 180°C for about 30 minutes or until firm to touch.
