Hi there,
I'm using ADA83 and have a problem with types in differnt packeges.
My first package looks like this:

package first is
    ...
    type HAND_T is (open,close);
    ...
end first;

the second package wich imports the first includes this type in a record:

with first;
use first;
package second is
    ...
    type TODO_T is record
            Hand : HAND_T;
            movement: : MOVE_T;
    end record;
    ...
end second;

-- no problem.
But when I want to use this record in a third packege wich only imports
the second package the compiler don't knows the component HAND_T
of the record.

with second;
use second;
package third is
    WhatToDo: TODO_T;
    ...
    WhatToDo.Hand:=open; -- here comes the compiler error
    ....
end third;

so does anybody knows where the mistake is ?
When you got an solution please send me a mail.

thanks a lot
