I'm sorry.  I was not clear.  I meant several Y's to define, but I only
want to define some.  My understanding is I need to instantiate the
ones I care about in C, and the rest will receive the stubs from A.  Is
that correct?

with A, B, D;
package C is new B (X => A.A_T, Y1 => D.Y1, Y3 => D.Y3);

So, if I define things correctly, Y2 will default to A.Y2?
