No, it uses fcl-passrc.

A third, more limited parser exists inside ptop and other highlighting and
source beautifying tools.

Afaik include files are compatible to Dlephi, except that FPC afaik
recompiles units if they change.  But yes, I agree that on average Delphi
tools don't support comfortably what the delphi compiler suports.
