I haven't seen the library, but if you want some parts public and some
private, you have to do it this way in Ada 95:

   type Root_Stack_Public is tagged
      record
         <public components here>
      end record;

   type Root_Stack is new Root_Stack_Public with private;

   procedure Push (Item : in Stack_Item; On : in out Root_Stack);

private

   procedure <private op> (Stack : in out Root_Stack);
...
end Stacks_G;

What are you trying to do, exactly, that can't be done as is shown above?

P.S. Actually, I was in Troy last weekend.  Didn't get a chance to visit
the VCC, though.  (I graduated from RPI back in '85.)
