Indeed, and the way unit system works has an advantage: changing entry order
/ entry name in the uses clause can change the program behavior as intended
without changing other parts. Say, I have GraphicsDirectX and GraphicsOpenGL
unit, both having the same interface, simply changing this in the uses
clause could do a backend switch easily.
