[fpc-pascal] inlining functions

[Benito van der Zander]

Hi,

  something that appears  to help is to put units in the interface uses 
rather than the implementation uses.

When the unit mentioned in the interface uses, uses the first unit in 
its implementation uses, it can inline the functions from the first 
unit. Although I would have expected it to do the opposite.

Unfortunately that does not help if the second unit needs to use types 
from the first unit in its interface

Best,
Benito
