Will the following code in "lib/Jamfile":

   lib your_lib : [ glob ../source1/*.cpp ] [ glob ../source2/*.cpp ] ;

work for you? If you want to avoid grabbing all source files, you can put
this to source1/Jamfile:

   alias sources : file1.cpp file2.cpp ;

and then lib/Jamfile can use:

   lib your_lib : ../source1//sources ........ ;

HTH,
