Sorry. 
The IDE does not resolve symlinks in paths. That means if the IDE
opens a wrong file, then it does so, even if the two directories were
copies instead of symlinks. Your talk about a problem with symlinks
mislead me.

So, let's forget the symlinks and find out why the IDE opens the wrong
file.

Please confirm:
The messages window shows an error on the file
/usr/local/src/heavywethers/inifiles/trunk/dbconfigcode2.pas
but the source editor opens the file
/usr/local/src/inifiles/trunk/dbconfigcode2.pas
Right?
