In onther words, If adding lrs file to the package, it automatically add it
to the package source like this

initialization
  {$i myctrls.lrs}

I like also if i add myfile.inc file it also add it to the source, so i can
add my register function instead of create new unit for it.

procedure Register;
begin
  RegisterComponents(...);
  RegisterComponentEditor(...);
end;

Hmm, it is not good idea, how can i add units to uses in package source!?
