Due to a practice of separating packages into a stand alone directory. It's an idea to resolve the issue by using configuration rather than by changing the (existing/old) source code. Or is it planned to identify a namespace by it's physical location? (through another configuration setting?)

(Something similar to delphi's "uses unit in 'filepath'? but for search directories). off-topic: In the particular case of IDE for OSX, shouldn't macosall.pas be used? That should eliminate the need of univint/dialogs.pas thanks, Dmitry
