So what you are saying is that it could also be:

my_AND("Entrada_1", "P2", "P3", "Output");

which should give:

entity my_AND is port(
   Entrada_1 ���: in std_logic;
   P2�����: in std_logic;
   P3�����: in std_logic;
   Output�: out std:logic;
   );

or am I misundstanding you?

You shouldn't need to use access variables, but I really don't
understand what you are trying to do.
