Ok, I have this problem again. (And I've heard of others with the same
issue) A somewhat different setup.

In this case the directory of the file I'm editing is the main
project-path. (In fact I'm editing the .lpr) So X belongs to the package
Y. (The package I'm editing)
 
Now the path I'm looking for is in the 'other sources' setting for
project Y: (not Z)

No, the options are for project Y.

No, question is: where is the bug?

Why is the path which is set as 'other sources' in the project-settings
not used by the codetools when I'm editing a file which belongs to the
same project.
