Hi, (this is my first email to the list)
I've created a project for my Thesis. The file tree is:
/prod_thesis/
  /prod_thesis.tex
  /envi_thesis.tex
  /comp_chap1/
    /comp_chap1.tex
    /envi_chap1.tex
    /images/
      /image1.jpg
      /image2.jpg
(...)
    /tables/
      /table1.tex
      /table2.tex
(...)
  /comp_chap2/
    /comp_chap2.tex
    /envi_chap2.tex
    /images/
      /image1b.jpg
      /image2b.jpg
(...)
    /tables/
      /table1b.tex
      /table2b.tex
(...)
(...)
[...]
...
comp_chap1.tex has:
\startcomponent comp_chap1.tex
\product prod_thesis
\environment envi_chap1
blah blah blah
\placefigure[here][fig:img1]{img1}{
\externalfigure[image1.jpg]
}
blah blah blah
\input tables/table1
blah blah blah
\stopcomponent
First and second answer:

\input command is a tex command and inserts file as is. It is possible 
to use \component inside another component. \component command obey 
\usepath directive.

I can, at this moment, insert tex files into another tex files and keep
directory dependences. But Images doesn't work yet. :-(
...
Questions:
What is the canonical way to keep subdirectories of dependencies in a
component? (to be reused later in product compilation)
The question is the same (but now for images only).
...
I thought \usepath was to indicate where look for input files. I have to
use "\input tables/table1" to find table 1. \usepath didn't work in
envi_chap1.tex.
I answered that. \usepath only works with \component, \product, \project 
and it doesn't work with \input.

Cheers.
