Hello,
my "how-I-do-it" used for typesetting a large book was:
---- styles.sty
% Styles, settings etc.; never compiled individually, thus ".sty"; the file
also doesn't use '\startenvironment' ... '\stopenvironment' commands (I even don't know
whether such commands exist; anyway, I didn't need them)
\mainlanguage[cz]
...
----
---- book.tex
% Main file to build the whole book
\environment styles.sty
\startproduct *
\startfrontmatter
...
\stopfrontmatter
\startbodymatter
\component comp01
...
\stopbodymatter
\stopproduct
---- comp01.tex
% One of components; can be compiled individually, but sections are not numbered from the point of
view of the final document (= book.tex) ("globally") but "locally" from the
point of view of just comp01.tex
\environment styles.sty
\startcomponent *
...
\stopcomponent
Resume:
- Environment file 'styles.sty' is included in the product file and ALSO in all
component files.
- Environment file is included AHEAD OF any \start{product|component}.
- Product file can be successfully compiled.
- Single components can be compiled successfully, too; sections here are NOT
NUMBERED as in the final document.
- There no need to use "project" ability.
That's how I used and I understood component/product/project/environment
structure in my project (book).
But a better way may exist (or might be intended).
Best regards,
Lukas

i always use one main environment (that can include others) and putting
an \environment on top of a component is then not much overhead (compared
to getting the content done)
The problem with puttins \environment before \startcomponents is
that you can’t check for the *component mode which is enabled
after the environment was loaded.
So, one should use:
\startcomponent *
\environment env
...
\stopcomponent
for both components and products?
