well, no, I almost never utilize the "USE" keyword so everything is prefixed; I wouldn't try to avoid that.

IIRC, the field_types enumeration was once in the same child package and I probably moved it to the root one.  And then I never tried prefixing with "AdaBase." 

Now, even if that's the solution, I'm not sure having a type and an enumeration being identical is a good idea.
