You gave it the name of a package (Class_Client_Account).
It wants the name of a type (to match the generic formal
parameter T).

By the way, I suggest you format your code properly, so it will be
easier to read.  For example:

    generic
       type T is private; --Any type

    package Class_List is
       type List is new Controlled with private;
       ...

"generic" and "package" should be lined up, since they're part of the
same piece of syntax.  That way, you can see that T is a generic formal
parameter of Class_List, and List is inside Class_List, and so forth.
