What has "as" to do with this thread?

Yes, that's my point. Even if bitwise "and" would play a role here, the
precedence would still be the same.

I looked at it, but I still don't understand.
Perhaps you can explain the examples I gave?

// compiles, but should fail:
if o is TComponent and b then ; 
if o is TComponent or b then ; 

// compiles in fpc, but not in Delphi:
if b or o is TComponent then ;

// does not compile, correct
if b and o is TComponent then ;
