I'll try to make it clearer, as I pre define the targets, I can print them.
when I run scons in dry run mode for targets a.y and a.z, I see the dep tree properly. it has a installAs call.
when I do the same for b.z and b.y with the installAs call, I get two envs error with b.y.
if I remove the installAs in b and prints the targets, I see no problems in the installAs target dst.
