Thanks--this works now. The page previously had a line in 
the abstract_car_containers package that read 
   is new BC.containers(Cars)
instead of 
   is new BC.containers(Cars.Car, "=" => Cars."=")
GNAT complained that
  "expect valid subtype mark to instantiate "Item".  This makes sense
to me now.

Your case study page is quite a big help in getting started.  What a
herculean effort writing those components must have been.  I'm far too
much the gnubie to be helpful in general, but let me know what I can
do to help with the documentation side: even a bonehead's questions
might be nonworthless.
Thanks for everything.
