Re: Problem with child package

<discription of carav and voiture packages and child packages>

Remember that there are many scopes in Ada, not just 'local' and
'global. In which package did you declare your 'global' variable? That
package must be visible (via 'with' and possibly 'use') at the point
you want to use the variable.

For example:

package voiture is
	type carav_1 is ...;
end voiture;

package voiture.child is
	type carav is new carav_1 ...;

	global_var : carav;
end voiture.child;

with voiture.child;
procedure access_global_var is
begin
	voiture.child.global_var := ...
end access_global_var;

If your code looks different, post some of it, maybe that will help.
