Well, I know that you can do something like this:

      PTreeType    = ^TreeType;
      TreeType   = record
                             ...;
                             ...;
                             Dirs : PListType;
                             end; { of record }

You can see that "TreeType" is used in the first line although it is not (yet) defined.
As long as you declare the type within the same "Type" section the compiler swallows it.
