Thanks so far.
So if I understand you right, there is no way to declare the list
package within the spec file of My_Type beside declaring My_Type
public? I suppose I have to source out the subprograms using the list
instances in their parameter list out of package A as well...
So my solution now is a new package spec and body called A.Containers,
which contains all the container packages and subprograms formerly
declared in A (which brought the error with private types). The
alternative would be your suggestion to declare the package as
A.My_Types_List in package B. Hope that's what you meant, otherwise
please correct me.
