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.
