No, you can have all test cases in the Master Test suite.

I can come up with two ways:
1. Manual registration:
http://www.boost.org/doc/libs/1_46_1/libs/test/doc/html/utf/user-guide/test-organization/manual-test-suite.html

2. Put all test suites in a single cpp file, they will appear in the order
they come in the cpp file. Thus you can write your tests in a header file
and include them in the right order in to the single cpp-file.

When dealing with manual registration you can also add dependencies to the
TCs or test suites. At least it was possible in the previous version of
Boost.Test (1.32 or so). Not sure if this is possible now.
