"interfaces" allows for instantiating the "Application" Object (I 
suppose that is what Michael meant by"It pulls in the LCL"). There are 
many functions in the LCL that are usable without TApplication and 
"Interfaces".

What you can't do without "interfaces" is (1) use a local GUI (such as 
GTK or QT) and (2) do the usual "event driven programming" (e.g. use 
TTimer and anything based on "normal" inter-Thread notification).

So without "interfaces" your project is not an "Application" but a 
"Program" (AKA "command line tool") that is started, does its work, and 
stops; without waiting for anything to happen while it runs.

I suppose by "real Program" you mean "Application" (according to 
Lazarus-speak), so you can't use noGUI.
