A couple of approaches: 1. You don't need to actually include PersonalUnit.pas in the package Unit list, as long as it's visible on the Package Project's search path it will still be available. 2. Multiple packages can depend on the same run-time package, so you could put PersonalUnit.pas into its own run-time package and then add that to your other packages.
