separate embedded procedures?

[hawtinml@aston.ac.uk (Marcel Hawtin)]

Please help me out with this, the Ada books I've read say that you can declare
a procedure from a package body as separate and write its body in another file.
Neat idea!  So, can I have a procedure body in a package body that has a couple
of its own nested procedures and declare these procedures separte(ly)?  

I've tried, but my complier complains about it.


To try to make things clearer :


PACKAGE BODY Blah IS

  PROCEDURE Kludged_Mess IS

    PROCEDURE Small_Task IS SEPARATE;

  BEGIN

  <do some stuff using Small_Task>

  END Kludged_Mess;

END Blah;


In another file, the body of Small_Task :


SEPARATE(Blah)
PROCEDURE Small_Task IS

  <whatever>

END Small_Task;


Any help greatly appreciated,

Thanks in advance,

Marcel
