When you say 'scenario' do you mean a GPS scenario? If not, you will
have to tell us more...

The normal way of dealing with this problem is to put the alternate
codes in different directories and adjust the compiler's source path
to pick up the appropriate file.

package body Target is
   ..
   function Get_Position (At_Time : Time) return Position is separate;
   ..

then (with GNAT) the separate body will be target-get_position.adb. If
your scenarios are Real and Simulated, make subdirectories Real/ and
Simulated/ and place an appropriate implementation in each. Your GPR
might then look like

   type Environment is ("Real", "Simulated");
   Env : Environment := external ("ENVIRONMENT");
   case Env is
      when "Real" => Env_Path = "Real";
      when "Simulated" => Env_Path = "Simulated";
   end case;
   for Source_Dirs use ..... & Env_Path;

(I haven't tested this particular example ...)
