Yes, but what is the right answer?

Yes. See Compiler options -> Inherited. The LCL package adds the neccessary
paths.

It's an addition to "Other unit files". "other sources paths" is not given
to the compiler.
Giving the compiler the path to sources and the compiled units can result in
recompilation. That's why you often only exclude the path to the sources
(.pp,.pas). But for find declaration you need the source path.
Since we got packages, most source/unit paths are handled automatically. You
can see them in the "inherited" tab of the compiler options.
