And how and where do I have to instantiate the procedure then?

So is it this way correct:
package Pack1 is
 generic
  type Element is private;
 package Child_Pack is
  procedure Proc(El: Element);
 end Child_Pack;
end Pack1;

--body
package body Pack1 is
 package bodY Child_Pack is
  procedure Proc(El: Element) is
   El1: Element;
  begin
   El1:= El;
  end Proc;
 end Child_Pack;
end Pack1;

-- test-client:
with Pack1; -- by the way when I write here: with Pack1.Child_Pack; I get a 
compilation-error. Why?
procedure Gen_Test_Client is
  package S_2 is new Pack1.Child_Pack(Integer);
....


Thanks,
