Exactly. In Java, eg, if you have two imports with "*" and the two "packages" have the same class name, the compiler do not allow you declare only class name for a variable... "duplicity of names". Because this we see many sources (Java) that for a simple variable the programmer uses the full name (package and class name). If we have "dynamic namespaces" in Pascal, we can use a big name for units (like a big path for a Java's package) but to use simple names on the code.
