(Note: I use "method" for "either procedure or function"; if there is a proper term, please tell me --I don't know any.)

Hello,

A short question:
Why must a called method be defined before the caller, since it will be called only at runtime? Also: what is the trick then (on the implementation side), to allow recursion?

Normally:

method = function/procedure of a class with an instance 'Self'

class method = method where Self is the class type, not an instance

Maybe you don't know 'forward'?

procedure DoSomething; forward;
procedure Doing;
begin
  if ... then DoSomething;
end;
procedure DoSomething;
begin
  if ... then Doing;
end;

Maybe you don't know 'forward'?

Thank you!
