I agree with you and I understood the compiler error. The explanation is exactly 
what your are saying : B_T is in the A_T'Class but a function returning B_T does 
not return a
class-wide type. You have defined Fa_Ptr to be an access type to a
function returning a class-wide type rooted in type A_T. Also in my example I do 
not really need to work with abstract type. In fact what I am intending to do is 
not to compile this exact program, but to be able to create a Class (here A_T) 
and a pointer on functions which would be �usable/available� for all functions 
defined in the hierarchy (i.e. Ptr : A.Fa_Ptr := B.Fa'access). Also, in my 
�design issue� I can�t use Class wide type except in package A).
Thanks.
