Again, we are back at lazy typing. Somehow typing the realy long 
valiable name is not a problem, but declaring an extra variable is.
(and with lazarus even that isn't needed)

What is wrong with :

MyObj := SomeFunctionReturningObject(param1, param2);
MyObj.PointArrayField[i] := MyObj.PointArrayField[i] +
   FunctionReturningPointOffset(param)


Why are you still using pascal ?
