I compiles. But it dos not work well in the IDE, because it does not know what to do with '../project1/myunitfromproj1.pas'. For example it does not know where to search the units used by myunitfromproj1.pas. Normally shared units are put into a separate directory and then you either create a package for it or you add it to the unit path.
