I was mapping the Java classes/packge to Ada. In Java, all classes in 
the same package have the default access such that they can see each others.
 
(you have the supply the keyword protected on private on the methods and
data member to restrict this). 

so, in java, when you say

class foo; ---> in file foo.java
class moo; --->  in fle moo.java

and both those class are in the same directory (i.e. package), then each
method in each class can see all other methods and data in the other
class (unless you make such method or data members protected or private)...
