Perhaps I didn't make myself clear enough. I am talking about something like

class A
{
	void function1();
	......
}

A s_object_a;


and then other code being able to access the object like
s_object.a.function1();

I guess in Ada you could have a package with a type and a variable in 
the body but you would still need a way to access that variable somehow 
in other packages, either through a parameter or globally and that's my 
question. What is the best way to access such an object
