No. BDE Aliases only deal with data, so commands that look for data will look for them if they are available. Source Code aliases only work with, as the name implies, source code. However, unlike BDE Aliases (or User BDE Aliases), Source Code aliases ONLY work in the IDE -- if you deploy an application and still want that functionality, you will need to look into DEO (Dynamic External Objects). Either way, there is no conflict (as I see Mervyn also points out).
