In porting C++ code to Pascal I often stumbled into circular unit
references. Then the only solution is a monster unit, that implements
all the related classes at once, where the C++ implementation can be
split into appropriate modules.


The real question is: was the design of the code ok ? Circular references makes 
code harder to understand. Layers are easier to understand.


C++ creates one monster module in this case as well. You could do the same as in C++: split everything into include files. Pascal units aren't 1:1 equivalent of C++ include files, if C++ libraries are done properly, you can translate namespaces to pascal units.
