Exports and nested directories....

I'm a little confused about the Export command.  In particular, do changes
in the export list in one directory affect the export list in another
directory?

In particular, will the following work?

Construct file has
Export (FOO BAR BAZ CORE);

Build (a/Conscript);
Build (b/Conscript);
Build (c/Conscript);

and a/Conscript has
Import (FOO BAR BAZ CORE);
Export (FOO BAR BAZ MUMBLE);

$MUMBLE = $CORE->Clone (overrides);
Build (a/a/Conscript);
Build (a/b/Conscript);
Build (a/c/Conscript);

a/?/Conscript has
Import (FOO BAR BAZ MUMBLE);
followed by various uses of $MUMBLE.

b/Conscript has
Import (FOO BAR BAZ CORE);
Export (FOO BAR BAZ GRONK);
$GRONK = $CORE->Clone (overrides);
Build (b/a/Conscript);
Build (b/b/Conscript);
Build (b/c/Conscript);

b/?/Conscript has
Import (FOO BAR BAZ GRONK);
followed by various uses of $GRONK.

c/Conscript has
Import (FOO BAR BAZ CORE);
Export (FOO BAR BAZ FNORD);
$FNORD= $CORE->Clone (overrides);
Build (c/a/Conscript);
Build (c/b/Conscript);
Build (c/c/Conscript);

c/?/Conscript has
Import (FOO BAR BAZ FNORD);
followed by various uses of $FNORD.
