The -DFIRSTVERSION declaration will only apply to the .dpr file.  In 
order to have a conditional apply to the other files you will need to use 
an include file and reference it in each file that needs it.

Wish it weren't so, but that's been my experience.  If you look at the 
open source suites, you'll see that's how they do it.
