yes, the way you have done.

: where Gen_Test_Client is the start-procedure?

no. It has to be instantiated somewhere to become a real procedure.

: 2.) How is it possible to create a generic child package?

You might find it useful to think of child packages as nested
packages. Consider the steps it takes to make an instance
of the outer package. After you have an instance of the outer
package, you are back at step 1, where you instantiate some generic
package :-)
