Normally it is done the other way round, that is the top level cook file includes all the others. There are ways to organize such that you probably won't need such a variable but it can be done quite easily.

That would be form of what cook calls a "manifest" dependency. Most commonly used for source lists, but can be used for anything.

Does a system that manages 2000 source (c++) files in 22 sub-systems and builds around 200 binaries both optimized and non-optimized across multiple architectures all in parallel count?

Cook can help out here because you can easily reference architecture specific files if need be for your build - yet another organizational thing.
