consider the following code snippet:
<code>
unit a;

interface
type
  tt = ...
  tcls = class
  procedure method(x,y: tt);
  end;
function equals(x,y: tt): boolean;
implementation
function equals(x,y: tt): boolean;
begin
  ...
end;
procedure tcls.method(x,y: tt);
begin
  if equals(x,y) then
    ...
end;
end.
</code>

In the code above, equals will refer to tobject.equals instead of equals defined in the unit. How can I refer to that one instead?

I'm unable to reproduce your error. Real code that I could actually compile and run would make this a lot easier.

That said, have you tried unitname.equals?

try prefixing by the unit name:

procedure tcls.method(x,y: tt);
begin
  if a.equals(x,y) then
    ...
end;

Perhaps you're using an old version of the compiler where TObject doesn't have Equals method (added for Delphi compatibility along with UnitName and ToString)

prefixing by the unit name

Oops! That works, thanks. I thought only units listed in the uses list can be accessed through that syntax.
