Perhaps I missed something (I've only caught part of this discussion), but
why are you writing multiple types to the same file?  Why not use record types,
with or without discriminant?  Then you instantiate Sequential_IO once, and 
it takes care of all of the details of writing, and the same instantiation
will give you the structures you need when you read the file later.
