[SOLVED] Issue with precedence of a duplicate identifier in 2 different Units

[Thaddy]

I don't understand what this has to do with this Topic. And writing that you reported a bug does not help us without posting it's link.

It is completely ON topic. related to JCF and code tools and the link is:
https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus/-/issues/40756

It relates to - unintentionally - breaking precedence when sorting the uses clause is out of order, which is exactly your case.
I mean, this is not related to sorting only, it is about the order.

I'll make it quick as most has been said already: the compiler's behavior is the correct one here.

Thank you very much PascalDragon for to have this unambiguous and reliable answer.

I will file a bug report for the Code Tools and improve the "official documentation" accordingly, but I will need some days for it.

Thank you for creating the report. Next time, please provide a link to it: https://gitlab.com/freepascal.org/lazarus/lazarus/-/issues/41857

For example, when you create a report for documentation (as far as I can tell, it doesn't exist yet).
