AFAIU, they will not be executed. There is really no clean way of 
doing this without adding extra markup. Suppose I have a product file 
which says

\startproduct product \environemnt env1 \environemnt env2
  Title Text
\component one
\component two
\stopproduct

and a component

\startcomponent one
\product product
text
\stopcomponent

How can TeX parse the product file without typesetting title text?  It 
would have been simple if title text was surronded by some markup, but 
it is not. This is one of the reasons projects are not supposed to 
have any matertial that will be typeset.

So, the short answer is just add \environment commands in your 
components. Another way is to use localenvironments in your 
environment file, but I have never used them myself.
