I'm not really familiar with "with type", but I thought (guessed)
that the OP's procedure could be distributed across pairs of two,
each procedure taking one top level class-wide parameter and
a derived type parameter. If I have

package D is

   type Root is tagged private;

   type Derived_1 is new Root with private;

   procedure Op_1(d: Derived_1; other: Derived_2'Class);
                                       -- too early
   procedure Op_1(d: Derived_2; other: Derived_2'Class);
                  --  too early,       too early

   type Derived_2 is new Root with private;

   procedure Op_2(d: Derived_2; other: Derived_1'Class);
   procedure Op_2(d: Derived_1; other: Derived_1'Class);
                  -- too late

   ...

Will "with type" and package reorganisation help?
