But only when the search for used units exactly follows the search path, and does not look into the directory of the using unit first. Is this guaranteed?

The opposite is guaranteed. This is the search order for units:

1. look for ppu in cwd
2. look for ppu in outputpath if set, this is tp7 compatible (PFV)
3. look for ppu in maindir (= dir containing source file specified on the command line)
4. look for source in cwd
5. look for source in maindir
6. local unit pathlist (first ppu, then source)
7. global unit pathlist (first ppu, then source)

Sorry, that's wrong. I had deleted that statement from the wrong reply (the one to the original message in the wrong thread, instead of the new thread). The compiler never changes the cwd (current working directory), so the location of a unit has no influence on where the units it uses are searched.

I agree, that is extremely annoying, and more and more people are doing it!
