Running the following in a browser...

var
  Form1: TForm1;

implementation

type
 TCircle = class
   x, y, radius : double;
   constructor Create; override;
 end;

constructor TCircle.Create;
begin
end;

procedure TForm1.Form1Create(Sender: TObject);
var c : TCircle;
begin           
 c := TCircle.Create;
end;

end.

...will result in a JS runtime error "Error: Persistent load error (unit1_tcircle.$p.tcircle_create is undefined)".
OK, it's my fault. I forgot to declare the TCircle constructor public. But the compiler did not report an error (Version 2.05B4, 2.06B1).

Got it, thanks.  I think it's a confusion between the "design public" scope and the "public" scope.  The compiler does some special things for declarations in the "design public" scope, which is the default scope for classes that don't have a scope specified.
