I'm not really sure what you're after, but perhaps you could try something 
like:

Use "modules.poke", to make them available in the "global" namespace (and
perhaps modules.peek to retrieve them). You could also take a look at the 
IMPORT built-in.

or:

Pass the constants as arguments to the rules defined within your .jam files.
