Delphi 5 migration - unable to locate file

Question

I am migrating my Delphi 5 application to Delphi XE3. I am totally new to XE3.

While compiling application I am getting error 'Undeclared Identifier Interace_Info'.

Code is like below:

abc.inc:

Interace_Info = packed record
iflag: ulong;
end;

.

Unit unit2
type
ulong: DWORD;
{$include abc.inc}
end.

.

Unit unit1
uses unit2;
type
Tlocal= array[0..10] of Interace_Info;

Where Interace_Info is declared in 'abc.inc' file.

I am not able to open any file which is mentioned in uses section by pressing Ctrl+left mouse button. I am getting error "Unable to locate file 'winapi.unit2.pas' ".

What is the solution to this?

Thanks

As commented, your code can't be real code.

I'm posting this, which I compiled right now with Delphi XE3 without any problem.

file: abc.inc

type
  Interace_Info = packed record
    iflag: ulong;
  end;

file: Unit2.pas

unit Unit2;

interface
uses winapi.Windows;

{$include abc.inc}

implementation

end.

file: Unit1.pas

unit Unit1;

interface

uses
  Winapi.Windows, Winapi.Messages, System.SysUtils, System.Variants, System.Classes,  Vcl.Graphics,
  Vcl.Controls, Vcl.Forms, Vcl.Dialogs, Vcl.StdCtrls;

type
  TForm1 = class(TForm)
    Button1: TButton;
    procedure Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
  private
    { Private declarations }
  public
    { Public declarations }
  end;

var
  Form1: TForm1;

implementation
uses Unit2;

type
  TLocal = array[0..10] of Interace_Info;

{$R *.dfm}

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
  ALocal: TLocal;
begin
  ALocal[0].iflag := 0;
  ShowMessage(IntToStr(ALocal[0].iflag));
end;

end.

It compiles and run without any problem.
