[Boost-build] project requirement inheritance

Hi,

I have a question about the inheritance of project
requirements. In my setup I have the following:

.../Jamfile
.../handlers/Jamfile
.../daemon/Jamfile

In the .../Jamfile I have the following:

project : requirements
  <define>TIXML_USE_TICPP
  <os>AIX:<include>$(root-path)/server/handlers/aix
  ;

build-project handlers ;
build-project daemon ;

Now if I run bjam in .../handlers, the define and
include-path are added to the compilation command, as
I would expect. But, if I do the same in .../daemon,
then nothing is added to the command. Although
project-requirements from my Jamroot are added. Any
idea why?

Cheers,
Andrej
