What facilities does GPC have for forward defining types.

In CW Pascal, I have some code that looks like this:

[...]

...

MyObjectB = object; f: MyObjectA; // other references to ObjectA end;

(btw Does this compile? Note the semi-colon after object)

Yes, the semicolon seems wrong (at least in other dialects).

Delphi supports this: (remember its object model is similar)

Type MyObjectB = class; MyObjectA = class;

This seems to be what `class .. end' is in OOE.

Must be in one typeblock though, IOW, the same system as pointers.

Yes, same in OOE.
