You need to put your "uses" list inside either the interface or the implementation of the unit. You can even put different lists in the interface and implementation sections (though you can't list the same unit in BOTH lists). Usually the implementation section will have a longer uses list; the interface only needs a uses list for types, including object types, etc., which appear in the interface.
I'm not sure about it, but it may even be possible to put a uses list inside initialization and/or finalization sections. ~David. -------- Original Message -------- > From: Ron Weidner <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Sent: Tuesday, December 07, 2004 2:30 PM > To: Agustin Barto <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>, FPC-Pascal users discussions > <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Subject: [fpc-pascal] using units in units... > > I'm looking for a little syntax help please.
