Regarding the second, "have them as childs ... in the treeview" :
I am presuming that you are talking about the IDE project browser. The only way that a class/module will appear as a child node in the treeview is if it inherits from the higher node . BUT if you want to collect classes etc into groups then just create a "Directory" in the treeview and create or drag them there. The IDE code is structured that way.

Regarding the first, I am not sure what you are after here? I think that if a class/module method requires a dialog form then the entire instanciation and showing of the form is most properly handled within that class/module rather than the main application form.

It would be interesting to see some pseudocode that demonstrates your problem.
