[lazarus] FPC question,complex forward records?

[Andrew Johnson]

I am trying to port IDL.h, as it is required by some other libs, and I found 
out that doing the way I have been is going to be somethings of a nightmare. 
Most of the records use TIDL_tree_node, which uses everything.. aka curcular 
reference. The way they get around this in the c Header is with a forward 
declaration of TIDL_tree_node. Is it possible to do this in FPC as well? 
something like -

  TIDL_tree_node = record;

and then re-declare it later in the file?

With classes this is easy but I am rather stumped on how to do this for 
record.

Andrew
