I think that the right question is about automatic form creation (on app 
start) or on demand. I'd let the first form be auto-created, and in its 
FormCreate handler it creates the other form, before using it or its 
components.

The shared components (list...) also better are moved into a common 
unit, where they can be created during program initialization. This 
initialization can reside either in the unit initialization section, or 
in a routine called from a splash screen, or in the main form creation 
handler.
