Be sure to read the chapter in the GNAT users guide here. I am
always surprised how many people run into trouble with
elaboration and have NOT read this chapter, which is entirely
devoted to explaining how to deal with problems like this.
It can still be tricky, since a lot of legacy code is flawed
wrt elaboration.

The unique optional static approach to elaboration in GNAT
is designed to ensure that new applications are not flawed
in this manner.
