Hi,

I can't access the child'types and I don't know why.

-- parent package specification
package Parent is
    blabla;
end Parent;
-- + body

-- child package specification
package Parent.Child is
    type Object is private;
    procedure Add (Ob: Object);
private
    type Object is
        record
            ...
        end record;
end Parent.Child;
-- + body

In a client program,  I import these 2 packages:
with Parent, Parent.Child;
use Parent, Parent.Child;
...
So, the procedure Add is visible but not the type Object !
When I declare :        Ob: Object;
it detects an error: "Object" is not visible.
When I declare with the prefix, it's OK: Ob: Parent.Child.Object;

I don't know why the type Object is not directly visible without prefix ?

Thanks for your help.

Patrick
