This should be adequate.

Another way is to declare the type in a "root package," and then make the
generic package a (public) child:

package P is
   type Mode_Type is (FIFO, LIFO);
end P;

generic
   Mode : in Mode_Type;
package P.GQ is
   type List_Type is private;
...
end P.GQ;


This way you can share this type among instantiations and other children of
P.
