a) You specify them in the Jamfile(s), and refer to them like other targets. 
It's not really possible to define them in the Jamrules (there are some hacks 
one could possibly do but I'd have to try that out).

b) Relative includes (and other path attributes) are handle and translated 
accordingly when used. You can also use absolute paths and it should not touch 
those when adjusting for relative paths.

The problem is likely not related to the path handling itself... As I think 
you have the problem regardless of relative/absolute paths. Could you provide 
the example as a regular email attachment? I don't immediately have the 
capability to extract this one. If need be you can email it to me directly.
