There's an annoying problem with inherited forms that can arise from this
fact.
Since it is the DFM that dictates construction rather than the pas contents it is
possible
for the DFM to contain a reference to a class that is not included in the unit and at
runtime
you get 'Class TSuchAndSuch not found' since the DPR streaming uses a mechanism of
getting the TClass by name as defined in the DFM.
I forget the sequence of events to cause this but it happens...
