No, I don't think so.
Paths are relative to the lpk file and there are no path going up
(../) there.
I actually looked in your lpk file and found that all listed units in
the Files node are in either Core, Protocols or System.

But I also found an interesting setting:
 <OtherUnitFiles
Value=".;Core;Design;FCL;Protocols;Security;SuperCore;System"/>
This shows that in addition to the dirs I mentioned earlier also FCL,
Security and SuperCore are included in some path setting.

Well, nz looked quite like one to me. OTOH the tabs contain different
components so the duplication is really only the names.

I will try to use the TCP client and server components to implement my
simulator. It is more familiar to me than any of the FPC networking
objects since I have used Indy quite a lot over the years.
In Delphi of course...
