You specify multiple toolsets on command line. As in:

        toolset=msvc toolset=borland

What do you mean? Do you expect to find all sources that include, directly
or indirectly, execution_monitor.ipp and apply some option? Do you really
think it's a basic task? No build system I know provide built-in mechanisms to
do that?

Did you see 

        http://boost.org/boost-build2/doc/html/bbv2/reference.html#bbv2.reference.init.args

and found that bad? Not that it explicitly tells you can request two toolsets at a time, but
it should that two values of other features are possible. As for the second question, it's not
basic at all, unless I misunderstood you.
