(For example, if you use GNAT, the fact that a procedure is a "main" it is written in the project file, not in the Ada source.)  Maybe it is because of this that you cannot exploit the fact that Accessibility_Level_Test is the main.

Even if the compiler knew Accessibility_Level_Test were the main subprogram, nothing would prevent some other subprogram from calling it (recursively).  This doesn't commonly happen, though.
