Circular Elaboration

[tgederberg@my-dejanews.com]

Hi,
I'm trying to port a program written in Ada 83 on a Dec Alpha to Ada 95 (Gnat)
on windows NT.  During binding I get several circular elaboration error
messages.  One of the messages is like:

"E (spec)" must be elaborated before "A (body)"
"A (spec)" must be elaborated before E (spec)"
"E (body)" must be elaborated before "A (spec)"
reason: Elaborate_All probably needed in unit "A (spec)"
  "E (body)"
    is needed by its spec:
  "E (spec)"
    which is withed by:
  "A (body)"
    which is needed by its spec:
  "A (spec)"
    which is withed by:
  "D (spec)"
    which is withed by:
  "C (body)"
    which is needed by its spec:
  "C (spec)"
    which is withed by:
  "B (body)"
    which is needed by its spec:
  "B (spec)"
    which is withed by:
  "A (spec)"

I tried doing the Elaborate_All in the "A (spec)" as suggested by the
compiler, but get the same error (except it now says the reason is that I am
using the Elaborate_All pragam).

Any ideas or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
