Re: generic packages

thank you for your response, but does the following code compile?

=======================================================
--file generic_set.ads

generic
      type Element is private;
      with function "=" (E1, E2 : in Element) return boolean;
package Generic_Set is
      type Set_Record is private;
      type Set is private;
      generic
           with package a_set is new generic_set(<>);
           with package b_set is new generic_set(<>);
           with function a_to_b(A : in a_set.element) return 

                                               b_set.element;
      function a_set_to_b_set(the_set : in a_set.set) return b_set.set;


private
      type Set is access Set_record;
      type Set_record is record
         El : Element;
         Others_Els : Set;
      end record;
end Generic_Set;
