You can do that, but then your package can only be a single list. If 
that's what you want, you should consider moving the type and data 
declarations to the body, and only having the operations in the spec. 
Perhaps what you really want is something like

type List is record
    First : Node_Ptr;
    Last  : Node_Ptr;
end record;

procedure Add (To : in out List; Item : in T);
