Glad to hear it. We could answer your questions better if you told us 
what compiler you are using. Different compilers do things differently.

This seems to be for a project called "Ada_Linkedlist" with a main 
subprogram called "Main". This is compiler-dependent.

This seems to be an Ada procedure called "Hello". Why you think 
something called "Ada_Linkedlist", referencing something called "Main", 
will compile something called "Hello" is not clear to me.

One doesn't "#include" anything in Ada.
