Aha, didn't know that :-) I think the problem then is the guards against
multiple inclusion of Jamfiles is preventing that behaviour now. It still
includes dependendent Jamfiles, but it also prevents self inclusion. So if I
change those checks to allow self inclusion only it would bring back that
behaviour. Would that be the expected?
