I what to have a "package" where i have routins that I want to call from another code/package. while this first package need to store items/records that are defined in the calling package. Ada just wont let me do such construct, what shall I use. I typically get "type extension at deeper accessibility level than parent" or something else problem. I just want this utility program to store essentially in old language a pointer to my object, and dont care about the structure of the object, and then return me the pointer att appropriate time.
