<<Due to Ada's dependency ordering, I often find myself reading package bodies
in reverse order.>>
This makes no sense, you arrange the subprograms in a package body in any
order that you please, I don't know whose code you have been reading, but
this does not make sense.
First, why are you "reading" package bodies at all in this sense, I can't
see this as a useful activity.
What you might want to do is to read through the specificatoins that are
part of a body, but these of course can be in any order you please.
Then you read the subprogram implementations if you want, and of course
these can be in any order you please.
So to be clear, the typical structure of an Ada package body (we are talking
now about the ordering of sections of code) is as follows:
Collection of subprogram specifications in any order you please
followed by
Collection of subprogram bodies in any order you please, which need not
be the same order as used for the subprogram specifications.
Where exactly is the dreaded ordering dependency here that is causing you
so much grief?
