I've managed to resolve my issue.  It does work without using unchecked_access.

However, during my attempts to understand I managed to create a stupid dummy program with 2 versions of implementing a store.  One does not die, the other dies with accessibility error.  I can send a zip to whomever wants to "study" it.

Here is the main specifications with the main differences:

with Abstract_Store; use Abstract_Store;

with Clients; use Clients;
with Clients.DAO; use Clients.DAO;

package Store is

   type T_Store is limited new T_Asbtract_Store with
      record
         Clients : aliased T_Client_Store;
      end record;

   overriding procedure Store_Client
     (Self   : not null access T_Store;
      Client : in              T_Client'Class);

   overriding function Get_Client
     (Self   : not null access T_Store;
      Id     : in              Integer)
      return T_Client'Class;

   type T_Store_2 is new T_Client_Store
     and T_Asbtract_Store with null record;

end Store;

T_Store does not "die" whereas T_Store_2 does on the return of Get_Client.
In the case of T_Store the overriding function for T_Store is just performing a "return Self.Clients.Get_Client (Id);"  In the case of T_Store_2 it does call the function directly through inheritance.

T_Store requires me to write use a lot of "keystrokes" (writing the redirection calls) which I was hoping to save with T_Store_2.
