delphi path delphi-2009 packages

I'm trying to build 3 packages, A, B and C. A defines some base classes that are used in B and C. I've got all 3 of them in the same project group, all set up to output to the same custom BPL output folder. This folder is in the search path for B and C. But when I go to build B and C, the compiler chokes on the Requires list. "Required package 'A' not found."

How do I tell B and C where to find A so they'll build correctly?

Either the package can't be found, or the compiler is confused. In the later case, a restart sometimes helps. Then a manual build from all packages in order.

If it really can't be found, check if all package (bpl and dcp) and dcu files are available. You need both.
