I think so.  There's a tiny incompatibility between TP 5.5 and TP 6.0 in the
definition of objects (in 5.5, a semi-colon ";" after the last declaration
was optional, in 6.0 it's required), but objects weren't allowed at all in
4.0.

You will of course need source for all referenced units:  .TPU files are
never re-usable across upgrades.
