Here is some of the information when running bjam with -d 2:

"file 
..\bin.v2\test\has_operator_multiplies_test.test\msvc-10.0\debug\threading-multi\has_operator_multiplies_test.obj.rsp
"has_operator_multiplies_test.cpp"
 
-Fo"..\bin.v2\test\has_operator_multiplies_test.test\msvc-10.0\debug\threading-multi\has_operator_multiplies_test.obj"
     -TP
  /Z7
  /Od
  /Ob0

  /Zc:wchar_t
  /wd4675
  /EHs
  -c

"-IC:\Programming\VersionControl\boost"

"-IC:\Programming\VersionControl\sandbox\type_traits"

compile-c-c++ 
..\bin.v2\test\has_operator_multiplies_test.test\msvc-10.0\debug\threading-multi\has_operator_multiplies_test.obj

     call "C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 
10.0\VC\vcvarsall.bat" x86 >nul
cl /Zm800 -nologo 
@"..\bin.v2\test\has_operator_multiplies_test.test\msvc-10.0\debug\threading-multi\has_operator_multiplies_test.obj.rsp" 
"

and in the rsp file:

"has_operator_multiplies_test.cpp" 
-Fo"..\bin.v2\test\has_operator_multiplies_test.test\msvc-10.0\debug\threading-multi\has_operator_multiplies_test.obj" 
    -TP /Z7 /Od /Ob0 /W3 /GR /MDd /Zc:forScope /Zc:wchar_t /wd4675 /EHs -c
"-IC:\Programming\VersionControl\boost"
"-IC:\Programming\VersionControl\sandbox\type_traits"

What appears to be happening is that the include path for the entire 
Boost tree installation, which in my case I am pointing to the latest 
SVN trunk, takes precedence to the include path in the sandbox 
type_traits directory. This may be the reason why the errors are being 
seen since if it picks up the appropriate include files from the SVN 
Boost trunk it will not find your changes.

I am not sure how I can change this to make it work properly, even if I 
pointed to another Boost tree, such as 1.4.5 or 1.4.4 which I have on my 
machine. It would still be picking up from that tree first. Nor do i 
know how to tell bjam how to use your snadbox include files first. And 
naturally I need to point to some Boost tree distribution, else none of 
the libraries Type Traits depend on, such as Boost MPL, will be found if 
I do not.

It seems the only solution is that I must put the sandbox type_traits on 
top of the type_traits in the SVN trunk and then test from within the 
trunk. But that is a real PITA. I wish I knew if there was a way to get 
the Boost Build system to pick up the sandbox include path before it 
does the Boost tree inslude path.
