Why does Close_Port need a pointer to a Session? If you are passing
Session to C code, you should probably use 'Address rather than
'access. Or, define Close_Port to take an access parameter:

function Close_Port (Session : access Session_Type);

If you really, really need the interface you've given,
'unchecked_access will eliminate the error message.

We need more info about what you are really doing to really help.
