Although the setup below works, there is still another problem when  
the project setup is more involved.
The problem can now be described as follows:

\project setup with \products in subdirectories, no problem in  
finding environments higher up when texexec-ing.

Setup of bibtext database is done with \setupbibtex[literature] .
Directory structure is:
	project/                (containing \project-file, literature.bib  
and literature.bbl)
	project/xyz          (containing xyz \product-file)

Running job xyz.tex within project/xyz, produces xyz.aux, which is  
useless for bibtex; therefore I tried to use the bbl file directly  
and thought to find this in coding:
	\usepublications[literature] instead of \setupbibtex[literature]
putting this in an \environment at the \project level.

However, texexec-ing xyz in its subdirectory again does not find  
literature.bbl, the log file says:
	publications    : file literature.bbl not found, don't forget to run  
bibtex

But, it does find the bibtex database literature.bbl when I put the  
\product files in the same directory as the \product; correctly saying:
	publications    : loading database from literature.bbl

It looks as if the bib-module does not look higher up in the  
directory hierarchy as is done for other elements in an \environment.
I would expect that from the project structure, being the main  
benefit of this structuring.

Is this really a problem in the bib-module or am I overseeing something.

yours sincerely,
