Note, I do not have any experience with bjam version 2, and very little
with
the first one as well. But I once tried something like this with
templates.

exe target : sourcefile.cpp <template>ace ;

The template 'ace' was then defined in my Jamrules file and specified
include dirs, libraries and the other things I needed. This worked well,
but I had to sometimes use <template>../../ace when working in
subdirectories. Will the proposed <uses> avoid that?

Keep up the good work with V2! I hope to be able to use it for an
existing project without breaking the old structure and Makefiles. I
seem to remember that you have added more functionality for shared libs
and dependencies between them. (I didn't succeed with V1, perhaps I just
didn't understand how to fully utilize it.)
