It sounds like you're mixing up the build-time and runtime classpaths. A
project controls its build-time classpath (its Build Path in
properties), but the runtime classpath is controlled by a launch
configuration.
I don't think a project could dictate such things about runtime, since
it can't know if other projects are involved in the launch(es) it
participates in.

If you don't get response, try eclipse.platform.pde or maybe even
eclipse.platform.rcp
I don't know the answer myself, but would like to know. If you decide to
cross-post, please do it as a follow-up to this thread so we all see the
responses.
