Instead of

type T_List is
   record
      Next : access T_List;
      Item : Integer;
   end record;
T_List_Ptr is access T_List;

you should use an incomplete declaration (ARM 3.10.1):

type T_List; -- incomplete declaration

type T_List_Ptr is access T_List;

type T_List is
   record
      Next : T_List_Ptr;
	Item : Integer;
   end record;
