Aha! This explains a few misunderstandings, then. The word
 "generic function"
has a formal meaning as an Ada term. This meaning is quite different
from "a function with a procedure parameter", which has formal
Ada meaning as well!

A generic function that receives a procedure will be something
like

  type Procedure_Pointer is access procedure;

  generic
     ...
  function Some_Func(Proc: Procedure_Pointer) return Some_Type;

I guess you just want the third line.
