1. boost-build.jam
2. bootstrap.jam, and the rest of the build system.
3. Jamrules
4. Jamfile(s)
5. Jamfile(s)
6. *-tools.jam

See: http://www.boost.org/tools/build/jam_src/index.html#jambase_replacement 
for some more details.

I included Jamfile(s) twice, because they are loaded twice. Once for the 
delcaration of targets, second for the instanciation of the targets.

The tools are read on a per-target basis.

In the requirements on the target with <sysinclude> (or <include>). See: 
http://www.boost.org/tools/build/build_system.htm#main_targets and 
http://www.boost.org/tools/build/build_system.htm#feature_description for more 
on that subject.
