FPC supports:

uses
   unit1 in "../foo/bar/somefile.pas";

I am using this so I don't have to ship FPC config files in examples and 
demos for Powtils 1.7.X. (no -Fu search path needed for relative 
directories when using this trick).

You can even go:

uses
   newname in "someunit.pas";

begin
   newname.callfunction();
end.

You are right though that there are still differencecs between FPC such 
as not being able to export overloaded functions and minor things that 
are still feature tweaks.

library example;

exports
   overloaded(param)
   overloaded(different params);
   overloaded(other different params);

end.
