file vs. project hierarchy

I'm sorry if this a FAQ, but I didn't find what I was looking for in
the FAQs or wiki.

How do project heirarchies depend on physical file hierachy? Am I
constrained in how I organize my directory structure? Is the toplevel
jam file the only one that depends upon file structure?

Here are the docs I'm studying.

http://www.boost.org/doc/html/bbv2/tutorial/hierarchy.html
http://www.boost.org/doc/html/bbv2/advanced/jamfiles.html#bbv2.advanced.projects

I am also reading the current thread on the mailing list re
project-root.jam [1], which seems to be related, but I do not fully
grok it yet.
