In Microsoft VS land this would be: Inherited Project Property Sheets In Boost BJam - Boost Build V2 Project Hierarchies(see http://www.boost.org/doc/tools/build/doc/userman.pdf ) In the case of BJam: "Projects inherit all attributes (such as requirements) from their parents. Inherited requirements are combined with any requirements specified by the subproject. For example, if top/Jamroot has" Which is sadly the same case for CMake. However in BJam this could be rectified (I never thought this was a good idea to begin with) by putting Jamfiles(s) at leaves and then calling as usual "use-project" which would inherit only from a specified project example of putting Jamfiles at leaves /Jamroot /myapps/build/Jamfile /myapps/ap1/build/Jamfile /myapps/ap1/src/somesrc.cpp /mylib/build/Jamfile In above form when BJam recursed into /myapps/ap1/build/Jamfile and followed up the tree to Jamroot it would not "see" /myapps/ap1/build/Jamfile project settings unless specified explicitly by "use-project". Nice thing about BJam was I could create my own project "directory" structure completely independent of the source tree strucutre >Instead of using cached variables, you might consider using global (user- >defined) properties. That's what I do when I need to "inherit", e.g., include >directories, across directory structures. Note that INCLUDE_DIRECTORIES is a >property of a directory. So you can always look up that property for a given >directory. I was trying to avoid global anything, but I just can't seem to get around it. Brian
