The unit interfaces is needed when using the unit forms.
Normally this is done in the lpr file.
If you prefer another setup just click 'Always ignore' and the IDE
will stop it (for this project).
The warning is needed because if you forget the unit interfaces you
will get strange linker errors - a big show stopper for newbies and
even some advanced programmers.
