[Boost-build] bjam ignores part of Jamroot file

Hello,

I'm trying to build a python-extension module using Boost Build v2,
using boost 1.34.1. For some reason the build system just ignores some
of the stuff I put in the Jamroot file.

Jamroot:
1. use-project boost
2.   : ../../../boost_1_34_1 ;
3.
4. project
5.   : requirements <library>/boost/python//boost_python ;
6.
7. python-extension pyipc : pyipc.cpp
8.   : <include>/home/chris/trunk/src/common
9.   : <include>/home/chris/trunk/external/include
10.  : <include>/home/chris/trunk/include
11.  : <library>/home/chris/trunk/lib//libipc
11.  ;

It seems to ignore everything in the python-extension section below
line 9. I can interchange the include files (e.g. swap lines 8 and 10)
and the build process will still only recognize the first two include
directories. I am not able to add some of my include folders and
libraries that I need to link to. Is there a way to step through the
build process to debug the build execution?

Thanks,
Chris
