In my past Delphi experience I was hit by circular references when
placing my own units in the interface uses so I moved them to the
implementation uses.
Ever since then I have refrained from putting anything into Interface
uses that is not explicitly needed by stuff in the interface.
Has worked fine in all versions of Delphi that I have used (all from
D1-D7 and then BDS2006 too).
