P1 is not a primitive operation of Root, because in instances of your
package, P1 denotes a view of the actual parameter, and does not
declare a subprogram. The subprogram denoted by P1 is thus not
declared in the same declarative_region as type Root, and therefore
does not qualify to be a primitive operation of Root.

It is unclear to me what you are trying to achieve. Could you be more
specific about what you actually want to do?

Thomas.
