That's not true. You can use generated files in another Tupfile. It would 
severely limit the usefulness of tup if that weren't possible. In fact, I 
do just that in a fairly large project all the time. Here is a small 
example:

bash$ ls -l a b
a:
total 24
-rw-r--r--  1 ajensen  staff  165 Jan 27 21:53 ClassA.cc
-rw-r--r--  1 ajensen  staff  103 Jan 27 21:53 ClassA.h
-rw-r--r--  1 ajensen  staff   44 Jan 27 21:36 Tupfile

b:
total 16
-rw-r--r--  1 ajensen  staff   80 Jan 27 21:47 Tupfile
-rw-r--r--  1 ajensen  staff  141 Jan 27 21:52 main.cc
bash$ for fn in a/* b/*; do echo "================ $fn ================"; 
cat $fn; done            
================ a/ClassA.cc ================
#include "ClassA.h"
#include <iostream>

ClassA::ClassA()
    : member_(9) {
}

void ClassA::doit() {
    std::cout << "ClassA: value = " << member_ << std::endl;
}
================ a/ClassA.h ================
class ClassA {
    public:
        ClassA();
        void doit();
    private:
        int member_;
};
================ a/Tupfile ================
: foreach *.cc |> g++ -c -o %B.o %f |> %B.o
================ b/Tupfile ================
: foreach *.cc |> g++ -c %f -o %o |> %B.o
: *.o ../a/*.o |> g++ -o %o %f |> foo
================ b/main.cc ================
#include "../a/ClassA.h"
#include <iostream>

int
main(int argc, char** argv) {
    printf("Hello, World!\n");
    ClassA a;
    a.doit();
}
