Detailed Description
A SubProject item is used to add a sub-project that is defined in a separate file. Additionally, properties of the sub-project can be set without modifying the separate project file.
The following example adds a sub-project defined in subdir/project.qbs and overrides its name.
  Project {
      SubProject {
          filePath: "subdir/project.qbs"
          Properties {
              name: "A sub-project"
          }
      }
      ...
  }
A typical use case for SubProject items is to conditionally include sub-projects. The following example pulls in the tests sub-project if and only if the withTests property is true.
  Project {
      property bool withTests: false
      SubProject {
          filePath: "tests/tests.qbs"
          Properties {
              condition: parent.withTests
          }
      }
      ...
  }
If you do not need to set any properties on the sub-project, you can also use the Project.references property, the same way you would for a product.
  Project {
      references: "subdir/project.qbs"
  }
is equivalent with
  Project {
      SubProject {
          filePath: "subdir/project.qbs"
      }
  }
It is also possible to nest Project items directly in the same file.
Property Documentation
