To answer the question in a general way, you can achieve it with
child libraries.  However, it's better to ask you to post an example.
FOr instance, because the concept of type and module are separated in
Ada, you don't have to go through the "friend" torture like you do in
C++ (where type(class) and module are (generally) the same).
