[Lazarus] "nested" packed record?

[Xiangrong Fang]

Hello,

Is the "packed" keyword effective for nested records? i.e.

TMyRecord = packed record
    Component: *packed* record
        Field: Integer;
        ... ...
    end;
    ... ...
end;

Does Component have to be packed to ensure entire record is packed, or,
"packed" is only required for the outmost record keyword?

Thanks,
Shannon
