Since those other languages' Class is equivalent to a combination of 
Ada's Tagged Type, associated Primitive Operations (etc.), and 
containing Package (i.e. "Class" provides the container and name-space, 
part of the other-language definition of "OOP", which Ada provides in a 
more general way with Packages), this is equivalent to saying those 
languages should not require a derived type to be contained within a 
Class derived from the parent.
