<p>Usually when I add a unit uA.pas to a project (by opening the
unit in the code and then hitting Shift+F11 or Project/Add editor
file to project), Lazarus asks me if I want to add this path to
the search path for units. <br>
</p>
<p>There can be a problem if you further create a visual component
in a unit uB.pas that uses uA.pas.</p>
<p>You will need to create a package for uB.pas or add it to an
existing package. Let's call this package pB.lpk .<br>
</p>
<p>In this case you can no longer add the directory of uA.pas to the
search path, because you'll end up with duplicate ppu files. (I'm
not sure of the error, but Lazarus and the compiler complain and
advise you to use the package).<br>
</p>
<p>To address this problem, I have a specific package pA.lpk where I
put uA.pas, and I add pA to the dependencies of pB . (eventually,
you can put all you common code in a single package too)<br>
</p>
<p>In my real code pA is the package<b> </b><span
class="final-path">OD_DelphiReportEngine_Units.lpk where I put
all my units which can run headless in console with no GUI (

).</span></p>
<p><span class="final-path">And pB is </span><span

</span></p>
<p>I even had a third intermediary package <span class="final-path">OD_DelphiReportEngine_Components.lpk
for non visual components which can be used for example in
datamodules in console apps working with databases (
