But also read my recent response to Adam's query re mutual dependencies.  I
disagree with much of John's advice, and think that there are simpler
solutions.  This particular "problem" with Ada is basically a red herring.

Also, read my discription of the Composite pattern in the Mar 97 Listserv
Patterns Archives of the ACM SIGAda Patterns Working Group:

(I have trouble navigating there sometimes; let me know if you have trouble
finding it.)
