First start by defining what ComparePoints is supposed to measure or compare.
If "compare" doesn't mean "equals", then a better name should be used,
otherwise that too is up for incorrect interpretation.
If "equals" is needed, why not simply use p1=p2 ?
If operator overload exists for the types then sure, but as you know I
like OOP approaches to things.
Also is TPoint a record or a object or a class?
In fpGUI the equivalent of TPoint and TRect are object types and has
many related methods defined inside them. I don't believe p1 = p2 is
going to work with the object data type.
