VHDL hierarchical project design problem in Quartus II Web Edition 11.0(With SP1)

The problem is:

1. Create 1st VHDL project and create BSF - Ok

2. Create 2nd VHDL project and create BSF - Ok

3. Create 3rd project:

- Add 1st and 2nd project (through LIBRARIES setting menu) - set path to my projects. Ok

- Create BDF-file for 3rd projet - Ok

- Call Symbol Tool in order to add my 1st and 2nd BSFs-files - Ok

- Add my 1st project (which is upper in Libraries list) - Ok

- Add my 2nd project (which is in the bottom of my "libraries files" list) - FAILED

So if I change order of 1st and 2nd project (change their place in "libraries files" list) then the Quartus can`t find 1st project.

So the problem is that Quartus can`t find projects specified in global (project) libraries that are not on the first position.

Any ideas?

    have you tried doing it all in VHDL?

    Yes, I have.

    In VHDL coding style all is Ok and works fine. But in BDF like style I have problems.

    try using relative path i.e.

    for example use

    ..\project1

    instead of

    c:\myprojects\top\project1

    It doesn`t work too.

    The only way to use BSF as a library module in my top-level BDF project is to specify project libraries, but not Global Libraries. Are there any features that I don`t know about Global and Project Libraries. Because for VHDL like projects (where top-level modules are also in VHDL) I always use Global Libraries and I have no problems, but in BDF like top-module projects i have the problem specified above.
