1. I don't have to redispatch from Initialize, I can do this from
subprogram S1, which was called from S2, which was called from ... SN,
which was called from Initialize.

2. The fact that there is a disaster is exactly my point. The

Bingo. The only "issue" is that Ada does not acknowledge this
"progressive" nature of construction and there is no recognized place
for being not fully constructed.

of finalization.
