Thanks for explanation, I didn't know about that...
i guess that there is a lot of stuff deep down only a few people know
about (this is typical needed for more complex workflows) ... when i run
into them i'll try to document them in 'workflows' but suggestions are
welcome
(right now Alan is updating the new publications manual which will have
some 8000 pages of tricky details and hidden features that we forget
about as soon as we've added them)

Hello,
when you want to use your personal (additional) path (but apparently not
a tree), e.g. for styles (environments), you can use --path switch:
"
context.exe --path=c:\MyDirectory\MyContextStyles MyFile.tex
"
(Source: "context.exe --help")
(Once I tried also:
"
set TeXMFLocal=c:\MyName\MyContextStyles & context.exe MyFile.tex
"
but ConTeXt doesn't look for TeXMFLocal nor TeXMF-Local environment
paths, as I believed.)
I didn't test whether
"--path=c:\MyDirectory\MyContextStyles/" or
"--path=c:\MyDirectory\MyContextStyles//" or
"--path=c:\MyDirectory\MyContextStyles/*" or
"--path=c:\MyDirectory\MyContextStyles/**"
causes Ctx to use the whole tree instead of one path.
why should it ... a path is a path unless specified otherwise
we have a runtime tree search with:
context --path=tree://e:/tmp/whatever/**/ --global somefile.tex
which is quite ok for jobs that involve not that many files
and a cached-across-jobs search with
context --path=dirfile://e:/tmp/whatever --global somefile.tex
(in that case you need to delete dirlist.tuc in the given path when you
add or remove files)
the second one we use here in automated runs on servers where books are
generated from thousands of small files sitting on an nfs share and this
speeds up the search
the --global bypasses the check for a valid file
