FPC is happy with ppu files. Codetools need sources. So it needs the
settings where the ppu files are coming from. Therefore codetools
allows to have different settings for each directory.

This creates a node for directory Path. Path should be your program
directory.

This expands the UnitPath of directory Path with Path. 
Maybe you meant
UnitPathMacro+';'+ExpandFileName(SomeUnitPath),
?
