I've never tried that.

I'm definitely not doing that, and they're definitely a problem. I've 
got a tree like

/usr/local/src/inifiles
/usr/local/src/inifiles/trunk

/usr/local/src/heavywethers
/usr/local/src/heavywethers/trunk
/usr/local/src/heavywethers/inifiles -> /usr/local/src/inifiles

with the project only referring to ../inifiles/trunk:

     <SearchPaths>
       <IncludeFiles Value="$(ProjOutDir);$(LazarusDir)\ide"/>
       <OtherUnitFiles Value="..\inifiles\trunk"/>
     </SearchPaths>
