Yes! But it is not yet in the main boost CVS branch.
This is how you can read the documentation:

http://cvs.sourceforge.net/
cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/boost/libs/python/doc/
Attic/cross_module_dependencies.html?
rev=1.1.2.2&content-type=text/plain&cvsroot=boost

(You have to join this into one line.)

I will merge the cross-module support into the main CVS branch
real soon, along with a few test/examples. Let me know if
you need this sooner. I could send you a boost.tar.gz file
with the cross-module stuff included.
