you could create a requirements project, with a set of requirements 
specified, then use an alias in that project as a fake target, you 
would then referencwe that in the appropriate places...

project c-dll
         : requirements
                 <link>shared
         : usage-requirements
                 <include>c
         ;

lib c : c/c.cpp b :  : : <include>c ;

# This allows us to pull a fake target to pick up the includes etc. 
for this project
alias usage-requirements ;

Then something like this...

lib a : a/a.cpp : <link>static : : <include>a ;
lib b : b/b.cpp a : <link>static : : <include>b ;
use-project /c-dll : c-dll ;
build-project c-dll ;
exe d : d.cpp : <library>/c-dll//usage-requirements <link>static ;
