Hello Marco,
It looks like \usepath is the key to what I want, thank you. I don't
quite understand your overall structure. Is the "*" a literal "*" with
some special meaning, or are you using it as a placeholder for
something? Sorry if I am being dense.
I am not using the project/product/component system, perhaps I should
look into it again.
Hmmm, alpha.tex defines component "a", beta.tex defines "b", is that
right?
