Some template questions

Hi,

I am using templates to factor out common compiler options. 

I have declared some templates in the Jamfile in the project root. When I 
try to use them in a Jamfile in a subdirectory I don't get any errors, but 
all the settings of the templates are lost. When I move the template 
declarations to the Jamfile in the subdirectory there are no problems. How 
can I avoid copying the templates to each of the Jamfiles in the 
subdirectories?

Are the paths declared in the template relative too the Jamfile that the 
template is in or relative to the Jamfile the template is used in? In other 
words is the template text copied flat from the template or not. I assume 
the answer is the same for $(SUBDIR) etc. then.

Patrick
