BTW, you are away of the "page locking" feature ? 
http://lazarus-dev.blogspot.com/2010/04/page-locking-or-multiply-editor-windows.html

Assign it to a key-shortcut.

Then lock the current editor, and to a declaration jump. With the 
default settings, this should go to the file in the 
last-focused-editor-for-that-file (can be changed to 
Editor-for-that-file-in-the-most-recent-focused-window)
That is, if the jump target is not already visible in the window...
