Is it possible to extend a record twice in a package?
I'm building a component now that will be mostly reusable.  There are a
couple packages that are the same, but for one piece the differences
require different code.  However, with the way it is designed, it seems
I could make the package specs the same and only alter the bodies.
I would like to try to hide part of the extended record from the
specification without having to change  the operation declarations.

I included a small slice of what I'm trying to do.  Is this even
possible?
Thanks.

SPEC:

private
    type Object is new HigherPackage.object
    with record
        Repo_View   : Repo_View_Array;
    end record;

end spec;

body
    type Object is new HigherPackage.object  -- This is where I'm not
sure how to proceed
    with record
        Data: Data_Array;
        Ack: boolean;
    end record;
