Any more examples? There is no usage of inline nor external in my
package / project combination (excluding the LCL, FCL and RLT, of
course, but I guess that they can't be the cause of the problem).

It seams like it would be excelent if the compiler could issue a
warning when it decides that a unit has the interface / implementation
problem and requires recompilation...

Also curious is the intermittent nature of the problem. My solution
was to add the path to the project options so that fpc could build the
html package twice, but now I removed that path and it still works,
even after rebuilding clean the LCL + all packages, which previously
would fail.
