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
(...)
Questions:
What is the canonical way to keep subdirectories of dependencies in a
component? (to be reused later in product compilation)
These are my ideas and my solution (don't hesitate to comment):

* envi_thesis.tex (environment of product) is the general configuration 
of all chapters: margin size, styles, fonts, and general definitions.

* envi_chap1.tex (environment of component) is specific configuration of 
a chapter: where the images used are, the title in the header.

* If I compile a component, envi_thesis.tex isn't automatically loaded. 
So, it is necessary include a \environment envi_thesis.tex in each 
envi_chapter I have. (there is no infinite loop in circular environment 
calling, because envi_thesis.tex doesn't load component environments)

* All information of directories are defined in environment of 
components, but the reference directory is different when I compile a 
product than a component. So in envi_chapter.tex I have a structure of

   \doifmodeelse{*product}{
     <directory configuration for product>
   }{
     <directory configuration for component>
   }

So, I keep in only one place directory information regardless I compile 
a component or a product.

My solution:

envi_thesis.tex -------------------------------------

\startenvironment envi_thesis

%% PATHS
\usepath[{comp_chapter1,comp_chapter2}]

blah blah blah

\stopenvironment

prod_thesis.tex --------------------------------------

\startproduct prod_thesis
\environment envi_thesis

blah blah

\startbodymatter
   \component comp_chapter1
   \component comp_chapter2
blah blah
\stopbodymatter

\stopproduct

comp_chapter1.tex ------------------------------------

\startcomponent comp_chapter1
\product prod_thesis
\environment envi_chapter1

\chapter{Preprocesado de las piezas}

blah blah blah

\stopcomponent

envi_chapter1.tex -------------------------------------

\startenvironment envi_chapter1
\product prod_thesis
\environment envi_thesis  % <- to get global configuration

%% path
\usepath[tables]

\doifmodeelse{*product} {
   \setupexternalfigures[directory={comp_chapter1/images}]
   other conf
}{
   \setupexternalfigures[directory={images}]
   other conf
}

\stopenvironment

That's all.
