Thank you for your advice. But it still acted just the same as if no
<dependency> is specified at all. 

actually I would like to know what you would do for this case, will u
use stage rule or will u write your own actions or something for
simple post-processing like "copying" or "zipping" etc? Would you give
me an example? 

C:\dk\workspace\graph_count>bjam filecopy release
...found 10 targets...
...updating 5 targets...
MkDir1 dist
common.copy dist\mutag188.dat
1 file(s) copied.
common.copy dist\mutag230.dat
1 file(s) copied.
common.copy dist\mutagclass188.txt
1 file(s) copied.
common.copy dist\mutag_class230.txt
1 file(s) copied.
...updated 5 targets...
