You might also look at the article "Simulating Inheritance with Ada" by Eduardo Perez, appearing in ACM SIGAda Ada Letters, Vol. VIII, No. 5, Sep/Oct '88, pp. 36-46. Both of the preceding are Smalltalk-oriented. Another product has been developed which is based on the Lisp variant known as Flavors, but I don't think it's yet commercially available.
