As Michael wrote it is not possible without unit renaming because there 
is no notion of package in compiler.
The proper solution is to compile lNET package as a library (static 
library doesn't supported AFAIK but DLL is ok).
Then write a small wrapper to import some types, classes, and functions 
and use DLL with shared memory.

If you're required a really large interface of this package and then 
large wrapper to write, you should better decompose your application to 
compile some part as DLL with lNET package only.
