Is there a way of uniting Units in Delphi?

I have a bunch of records defined into a few files.

I'd like to "unite" those definitions into a single unit, and use that unit everywhere in my program, to avoid having to reference all these units one by one in the rest of the program. Is there a way to do so in Delphi (without actually putting everything in one file)?

Something that would allow me to tell the compiler "if a file uses Unit1, it can use Unit2 too without directly referencing it".

If it is just to make maintaining unit lists easier you can use type aliases, like in unit2's interface do

Uses Unit1 
Type
   TMyBaseType = Unit1.TMyBaseType;

Now if you import unit2, the relevant type of unit1 is also visible.
