How is it possible that the LFM files are included directly but *.SQL

Because the file extension is recognized ? LFM is included as RC_DATA,
and probably everything that is not .lfm is assumed to be a RC format.
I believe fpcres also has this check.
Thanks for the tip. I found it - it is directly in the compiler.
In comprsrc.pas TWinLikeResourceFile.IsCompiled there is a logic that
defines what the compiler does with the included resource file based on
the extension or file header.
I don't like the fact that there are hard-coded constants for what seems
to be (for a stranger) arbitrary file extensions and that it is not
documented anywhere.
I will raise the question in the FPC mailing list.
