Publishing selected entries in a protected object?

[Jacob Sparre Andersen <sparre@nbi.dk>]

I have a package containing a protected object, and I would like to
publish _one_ of this object's entries in the specification of the
package.

Since I want to be able to use the entry in a select statement, I can't
just encapsulate it in a procedure and make that available in the
package specification.

And if I move the declaration of the protected object to the package
specification, but move the other entries to the private part of the
protected object, I can't access the other entries from the private part
of my package.

Is there a pattern I can use?

Thanks in advance,

Jacob
