Maybe something along these lines?

package Foo_3 is

     type Object is tagged limited private;

private

     type Wrapped is record
         null;  -- ...
     end record;

     procedure Copy_Constructor
         (Source :  in Object;
          Target : out Object );

     type Object is tagged limited
         record
             Data : Wrapped;
         end record;

end Foo_3;

package body Foo_3 is

     procedure Copy_Constructor
         (Source :  in Object;
          Target : out Object )
     is
     begin
         Target.Data := Source.Data;
     end Copy_Constructor;

end Foo_3;
