/mnt/Developer/Source/Projects/SCS/Stored/ is the path to the unit
file and it's includes which are many included in the unit.  Its
folder has 74 items all but one (the unit) and it's includes.

No, the -FI options work.  The bug would be with Lazarus not reading
or accepting ENV variables as vaild PATHs.

Yes.  It was b/c uStorage.pas was a unit added to the project itself
which in turn resulted in the path being added the include paths.  And
when I go to the project inspector I can duplicate the error EVERY
time by removing the uStorage.pas unit from the project.

things like are included in the uStorage.pas unit  {$i
uTempSearchUserInteractionDefinitions.inc} It would be wise to note
that FPC has no issue actualy building the project... This is a
Lazarus only issue that can be consistently duplicated. (see above for
duplication)

Yes indeed ".../Stored/" the path is listed paths here BUT only when I
add the unit to the project and NOT by the Compiler options page
setting of $Env(BUILD_SOURCE_STORAGE_SCS)/ which tells me this is
where the problem is.

Yes.  All I did to get the project to work in the IDE was to re-add
the uStorage.pas unit to the actual project which in turn caused
Lazarus to start scanning that folder for the includes.

Thanks for your thoughts.  I'm able to continue but this is a bug.
