Hi:

I need to code a recursive type: a Sequence which could contain 
sequences of the same type. Im trying to use a generic package for that 
purpouse. I provide a simplified example:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------
type Elem_Type is (Nothing, Int, Seq);

type Seq_Acces;

type Seq_Elem (Const : Elem_Type := Nothing) is
    record
      case Const is
        when Nothing => null;
        when Int     => I : Integer;
        when Seq     => S : Seq_Access;
         -- "invalid use of type before its full declaration"
      end case;
    end record;

package Myseq is new Sequence (Element => Seq_Elem);

type Seq_Access is access Myseq.Sequence; -- provided by the generic
                                           -- package
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Any ideas about fixing it?
