[fpc-devel] The usage of Include() doesn't work any more in 2.3.1

While this is obvious and of course using the address of a property 
should issue an error message, it seems desirable id a way is provided 
to allow using it in case that there is no getter or setter method. As 
this is defined in the interface of the component's unit, the calling 
code _does_ know about that fact. (Of course it's bad style as updating 
the called component will brake the caller's code and a Warning would be 
appropriate.)
