I think I can see your point, but from the "end user" point of view
this is not a possibility. How to tell to the user, "Remeber you must
call beginglobal... and notifyglobal... and finally endglobal... when
you create forms with components that need a global loading link
reference fixup" :-?

Moreover user can not take care of creation order, it is not
deterministic (AFAIK), there is no way to change it in Lazarus and
finally it defeats the drag/drop/design paradigm. I have a form with
25 SQLQuery, 23 of them are chained in some way, if I need a new one
at the beginning I must delete 23, add the new one, create or paste
the 23 again and relink manually again ?

So the final question, should this moved from fpc-devel to Lazarus
mailing list ? Is it not considered a bug in the TReader ?

Thank you.
