[fpc-pascal] Externalization and inclusion of .PAS files (with GTK+) ?

[ik]

Please don't think in PHP or C when you use Pascal... in C the
compiler passes multiple times to be able to map between every line of
code and locate things on other includes.

The pascal's compiler does not include full units inside a big unit.
it includes sub implementations:

types.inc

type
  MyInt = type longint;

// end of  include file

main.pas

unit main;
interface
...
{$include types.inc}
...

implementation
...
end.

Please note that if you place things out of order, that is
include/declear a function before you included types, and that
function uses MyInt, the compiler will not be able to find the type
you wish to use.
