You almost never need to add a unit path yourself.
Add instead one of the units of each directory to the owner (package or
project). For example add a unit of 'src' to the package. Add a unit of
'examples' to the project. Of course the package directory (.lpk) is always
part of the package. And the project directory (.lpi) is always part of the
project.
This way the IDE knows, which search paths should be applied to each
directory: The package search paths to the 'src' directory and the project
search paths to the 'examples'.

You can see all search paths in Unit Info (Src Editor -> Popup Menu -> Unit
Info). Open the tab 'Source Paths'. These paths are used to search for
.pas/.pp/.p files. What do you see for examples/unit1.pas?
