Handling projects

Hello,

Thank you for the new beta.

I have a question about project handling. I often make the same mistake -- press compilation shortcut when a NOT main file is active. So I obtain a broken pdf and have to delete it manually.
Is ConTeXt so clever to distinguish between auxiliary and main files, and use the main when I ask to compile an auxiliary? I saw some commands like \startenvironment, maybe they can help?

My main currently looks like

\usemodule[env.tex]
\starttext
\usemodule[CADD0.tex]
\usemodule[CADD1.tex]
\stoptext

Best,
Vyatcheslav
