There are two schools here:

1. Packages are multiples and objects are singles:

package Cars is
type Car is ...

2. Packages are singles and objects are Object:

Package Car is
type Object is

Calling the Type the same as the package gets you into trouble when code
becomes more complex.

Use "access" and not "access all" whenever possible.

Are you shure you need a access here? Adas stack handling is far more
powerfull then C++'s. So you might be better of just to return 'b'. Look at
New_Object in

don't "use" everything.

Difficult without the package bodys.
