If the compiler cannot find an include file, it will terminate with an  
error.

These directives are global and must appear near the top (before the  
"uses" statement and any declarations). In some older FPC versions,  
this was not checked very strictly. Enable warnings (-vw) and the  
compiler will print a warning when it encounters a global directive in  
a wrong place:

tt.pp(9,2) Warning: Misplaced global compiler switch
