Then there is no bug, Lazarus worked correctly.

I will add an example to the wiki as well.
I will use the tiOPF framework as an example The tiOPF has the
following directory layout, due to the fact that it compiles for FPC,
Delphi 5-7, D2005 and D2006
Source <= full path \Programming\3rdParty\tiOPF\Source
\Compilers
\Delphi7 <= Delphi 7 package files live here
\D2005
\FPC <= the tiOPF.lpk lived here
\Core <= core unit files
\Options <= optional unit file for extra features
\GUI
Using this example, I included in the "Options - Usage - Units"
editbox the following paths:
"$(PkgOutDir);..\..\Core;..\..\Options;..\..\GUI" which will be added
to whatever project uses this package.
I thought that those relative paths will get expanded correctly, but was wrong.
I expected the relative paths to get translated to the following in
the project using the tiOPF.lpk package:
..\..\Core => \Programming\3rdParty\tiOPF\Source\Core
The project using the package was in the following directory:
\Programming\MasterMaths\M2Browser\Source\Browser.lpr
The inherited paths in the project translated to a completely
different location, except for the $PkgOutDir. To solve the problem, I
had to move the tiOPF.lpk from the \Source\Compiler\FPC directory to
the \Source directory, and amend the Unit paths in the package to
"$(PkgOutDir);Core;Options;GUI", which then worked fine.
My conclusion was that you can only specify path deeper in the dir
hierarchy based on the location of the .lpk file, and not any other
paths earlier in the dir hierarchy.
Damn! It is much easier to show someone the problem than trying to
convey it in a email. :-)
