You'd need something like "aItemClass: specialize 
TMyGeneric<SpecificType>.TMyGenericClass", but that might not compile in 
mode ObjFPC.

As an aside: if TMyGeneric would not be a generic you'd need 
TMyGeneric.TMyGenericClass as well, a TMyGenericClass is part of 
TMyGeneric's scope and TMyService does not know this scope.
