So, to a newcomer, one can suggest to simply use components and environments. What is the advatange of the extra structure provided by product/project? A product is the book itself while components are only chapters, sections etc. (components can be nested).
Does that mean products cannot be nested? Even if a component is part of a product, the component must explicitly include all the environments needed for compilation (rather than simply refering to a product, as in the original question). So, I don't structurally see an advantage of the product-component distinction. Since this is an old mechanism and widely used (though I have never used it), I am missing something. The wiki page is woefully out of date with the current behavior. Aditya
