I've replied about this one in another email. Here's a copy for convenience.

make test-runner.cpp : test-file.h : make-test-runner ;
actions make-test-runner
{
perl make-test-runner -output $(<)
}

Will putting this in top-level Jamfile work for you:

import testing ;
unit-test runner : runner.cpp dir1/testedfile.cpp dir2/testedfile2.cpp ;

If so, you don't need Jamfiles in subdirectories at all.
