I think Mattias meant that Java still needs to pass paths outside the
source. So the hierarchical system of Java only fixes recursion, not all
paths.

And it adds the limitation that if you move a class from one namespace to
the other, you need to adapt all applications. In that, the concept is very
rigid compared to FPC units directories.
