How to specify a package in Xilinx 8.1i

Hi,
I need your help.

I have 4 vhdl source files:
A-Package.vhd;
A1.vhd;
A2.vhd;
A3.vhd;

A-Package.vhd is a package defining all common functions and constants
used in all other modules.

If the 4 files are in the above order, Modelsim runs them without any
errors.

But with Xilinx 8.1i, errors happen.

The following is in more details.

In A1.vhd, it is a top module and there are generic definitions:
generic(
DATABITS : integer := DATA_BITS;
MODEBITS : integer := MODE_BITS;
);

A2.vhd and A3.vhd are components called by A1.vhd and have the same
generic definitions:
generic(
DATABITS : integer := DATA_BITS;
MODEBITS : integer := MODE_BITS;
);

I specify DATA_BITS/MODE_BITS in a global package A-Package.vhd.
constant DATA_BITS : integer := 6;
constant MODE_BITS : integer := 3;

In instantiations in A1, A2 and A3:
generic map(
DATABITS => DATA_BITS,
MODEBITS => MODE_BITS
)
port map(
....);

When running with ModelSim, there is no error, A-Package is first
compiled and DATA_BITS
and MODE_BITS are specified.

When running with Xilinx 8.1i, there are following warning and errors:
WARNING:Xst:616 - Invalid property "DATABITS 6": Did not attach to C0.
WARNING:Xst:616 - Invalid property "MODEBITS 3": Did not attach to C0.
WARNING:Xst:616 - Invalid property "DATABITS 6": Did not attach to C11.
WARNING:Xst:616 - Invalid property "MODEBITS 3": Did not attach to C11.
....
ERROR:NgdBuild:604 - logical block 'C0' with type 'ControlBlock_In_0C'

or ngc
file, or the misspelling of a type name. Symbol 'ControlBlock_In_0C'

supported in target 'acr2'.

The problem is the ERROR MESSAGE DOESN'T CONTAIN THE MISSING OR
MISSPELLING PIN NAMES so that I cannot identify what pin is wrong.

I checked my instantiation code, and all pin names are matched. And
ModelSim
runs without errors.

Thank you.

Sorry. The problem is resolved.

The reason is that the project file doesn't contain the lower module
files while in its project file, lower level module names are shown.
