The example only shows how to parse a full file.

All I need is to parse any of the following
    SomeValue
    SomeType
    SomeFoo + Bar[1]
    Bar(Abc).xyz^    // Bar may be a class, or a function

At the time of parsing nothing else is known, the types / values can be 
looked up during parsing.

This are only right hand site expressions. This are NOT full pascal 
statements (since the result := part is not there)
They may result in a value, or a type. (or be invalid)


I already have the parser (that part was rather simple).  And it returns 
a structure of objects, that can deal with the rest of the work (getting 
type/value and evaluate).
