I somehow have the feeling that you and Graeme as well don't understand
what Bo's precise problem is. He has a unit which is a collection of
various different methods, classes, whatever. Some of these are related to
GUI components (e.g. TTreeView) while others are not. He wants to use the
non-GUI related code in his project without restructering the unit (for
now). So this has /nothing/ to do with RAD or hom writing a console
application or whatever. He simple needs to get the unit to compile (which
he did by adding the LCL dependency) and stay clear from using any of the
code that might use GUI. In that case there will be no dependency on a
specific GUI, because the Interfaces unit is missing and the compiler might
even smartlink away the GUI-related code that isn't used anyway.

TL;DR: Yes, Bo should restructure his code, but he does not /need/ to do so
right now.

Sven
