What is the proper method for creating an MDI child form
from another MDI Child Form?

I have used

 Form2 := TForm2.Create(Application);

Form2 is maximized (within the MDI frame), and when closed,
I find out that Form1 (where the above statement is executed) is ALSO
maximized within the MDI frame. Is that a bug, or am I doing something
wrong with the Create method? Should I use something other than
Application as the parent?

TIA

On my Opinion, only the main window can create a child.

You can try one of the following:

1.  Form2 := MainFrame.TForm2.Create(Application) where Mainframe is
the variable of your MainWindow.

2. More interesting, you create a procedure called let's say
InitChildwindow in the Mainwindow declaration which create your TForm2
and call this procedure within you MDI Child. Note: if you want that
to be possible, don't forget to put : "uses (unit of your
mainwindow);" after the Implementation of the unit of your child.

Don't know if it works but I tried huh ?

Nothing wrong, this is standard MDI window behaviour.
