[Lazarus] CodeTools doesn't look in the project's search path

It's not good practice to indirectly use units (not part of you
project). Otherwise, how would the compiler know if that unit had
changed since the previous compile.  If they are part of the project
(which they should be), the compiler or Lazarus can detect changes.

If you use a Package, you can use the "Add Files" tab to add all *.pas
units in one go.

As Mattias said, you can also add unit paths in your project's
compiler options dialog (Project | Compiler options | Paths tab).
