Sorry for the noise. Some of my classes were bad designed. They look like
this sample (Delphi XE 6 compiles):

==== CODE BEGIN ====

unit sample;

{$MODE delphi}

interface

type
  TGenericRecord<T> = record
  strict private
    Interf: IInterface;
    type
      TMockIntfObject<T> = record // Nested generic declaration
      end;

  public
    FValue: T;
    procedure SetValue(Value: T);
  end;

implementation

{ TGenericRecord<T> }

procedure TGenericRecord<T>.SetValue(Value: T);
begin
  Interf := TMockIntfObject.Create;
end;

end.


==== END ====


 With fpc i got the error "Fatal: Declation of generic class inside another
generic class is not allowed".

Best regards
