This is an old IBO 4.2.x bug, not a firebird bug. If you can access
yahoogroups' IBObjects message archive, search for the "[IBO] Parser
messes up SQL containing FIRST" thread from october 2003.

If i remember correctly, this error showed up with normal tables too,
not just views. The quick-and-dirty solution was to turn off the
KeyLinksAutoDefine property.
