If you are submiting these examples to your compiler I'd be
surprised if it didn't balk:  

You should not have a semicolon after "SEPARATE(A)"	

This is something I usually forget too. Once I removed the extra semicolons
and changed the elipsis to "NULL;" your example program compiled without
error (under Tartan Ada). I agree... your compiler should be able to handle
such nestings.
