Yes, loop index variables should not be declared. This is justified because loop indexes have a very peculiar definition scope, which is unlike any declared variable. If I remember correctly, Pascal allows you to define the index and so reuse it after the loop finished. That could be useful, but if you need this, you currently have to use a while loop and increment manually some counter you declared, which behaves as just another variable. Obrigado.
