You can specify as many "-b" switches as you like. They are searched in order specified. The parameter to "-b" essentially replaces "SourceDir" in the path allowing you to find your files on any number of paths. Personally, I find "-b" to be much easier to use than $(var.) because the search paths are at bind time instead of hard coding paths in at compile time (like $(var.) does).
