Most likely <use>/boost/python//boost_python gives pyicl_module another 
<include>$(BOOST_ROOT) requirement (as one of boost_python target's usage 
requirements), which isn't under the ordering control unlike the other one 
(<include>XXX&&$(BOOST_ROOT)).
Try removing <use>/boost/python//boost_python to see if it helps. If you need 
boost_python's other usage requirements (if any), consider specifying them 
manually for pyicl_module.
