A wild guess, since you didn't show the body:
Didn't you declare components in the body? i.e.

protected body Boob is
     X : integer; -- Not allowed
     ....
end Boob;

Remember that a protected object is actually more like a record than a 
package; it has no variables, only components (like record components), 
and they are not allowed in the body.

Presumably, this has nothing to do with separate compilation...
