Not exactly. Yours is a bit different:

uses
  Foo in 'whereever/the/lcl/dir/is' as FooLCL,
  Foo in 'whereever/the/rtl/dir/is' as FooRTL;

The idea of Martin's concept is to define "aliases" for the search paths as
well so that you can change them by configuration or command line. So you
wouldn't need to check whether your path to the e.g. the LCL is the same as
on Martin's computer or mine.

Whether we use "as" or "alias" and a string or an identifier for the unit
alias is not that an important topic.
Okay, but Martin's gave us an example: uses Buttons in 'LCL'
...and if I have a buttons.pas too?

Will be like that?
uses
    buttons in 'LCL', buttons {my buttons};

The classes/functions/etc will be depends what unit was declared for last?

Needs to be defined.
What happens, now, if you have Buttons.pas in your project path?


Possibilities:

1) no IN => use current dir / project
2) IN '.' => '.' is a path = the current dir.
In (without alias) works on the directory that is current for fpc => should be the project
3) IN 'PROJECT'  / IN '@'
Define a constant alias/symbol  for  the "current project
4) allow the user to specify a symbol for his project

- With solutions 2,3,4 => a definition is needed for 1 => what is default => should be same as currently
- 2: In '.'  => would also always work => same as currentl / current dir
- 3: IMHO not good
- 4: Can always be allowed -FuFOO:. // note the dot as dir => current dir => should be project dir
