The answer to the question is: yes. CLNP over X.25 is alive and well.

The "glue" you refer is the SNDCF which maps the CLNP onto X.25 network 
service. 

CONS is very different from CLNP. CONS is a network service definition
which maps X.25 onto CCITT's connectio oriented netywork service.

CLNP/X.25 allows ISO's connectionless network service and protocol to 
use X.25 as a subnetwork. Several companies are either working on, or
have such a service. GOSIP 1.0 allows for CLNP/X.25
