Thanks a lot, it help me a lot ... 

I added in the jamroot 

import modules ;
path-constant bbv2-ext-path : utils ;
local boost-build-path = [ modules.peek : BOOST_BUILD_PATH ] ;
boost-build-path += $(bbv2-ext-path) ;
modules.poke : BOOST_BUILD_PATH : $(boost-build-path) ;

import my-ext ; 

and in my-ext.jam ;

rule toto ...
IMPORT $(__name__) : toto : : toto ;

I just have a problem for explicit, in my-lib (in my-ext.jam) rule explicit is 
not found while it was ok in jamroot. 

rule my-lib ( project : sources * ) 
{
        lib $(project) : $(sources) ; 
        explict $(project) ;
}

Do you have any idea ? 

Thanks,

Renaud
