I responded a bit too quickly, so here's a bit more of an explanation:

The expression "Left < Right" just causes the "<" function to call itself recursively.  Changing it to

   function "<" (Left, Right : Element_Type) return Boolean is 
   begin 
      if Left < Right then 
         return True; 
      else 
         return False; 
      end if; 
   end "<"; 

doesn't help at all.  The function still calls itself recursively. 

When you wrote "Left < Right", what "<" were you hoping it would use?
