your complete example is valid (though a little bit off-topic), but the OP was 
trying to declare a variable which can hold any object from the class hierarchy 
FATHER_CLASS and initialize it with a CHILD_CLASS object.

the corresponding C++ example should have been:

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
   a &my_object = b(1);
   my_object.f();

   return 0;
}

note: Martin Krischik was noting that in Ada we can avoid pointers/references 
to do this, unlike in C++. our 2 examples just confirm that (plus it does not 
help much...).
