But that's what I'm talking about!  :)

So if the  TProcessOptions, TProcessPriority and TStartupOptions was
declared as a type inside TProcess I do not needed to import (uses)
two units (follow the example: process and myprocess) in a third unit.

I propose "migrate" these enums from units to be member of classes.
