    Description

      The treatment of qbsSearchPath is inconsistent. Consider this Qbs project as an example:

      Project {
          name: "My Project"
          qbsSearchPaths: "qbs"
          MyCppApplication {
              files: ["main.cpp"]
          }
      }

      In addition, there is a "qbs" directory, an "imports" subdirectory, and a file MyCppApplication.qbs within "imports":

      import qbs 1.0
      
      CppApplication {
          Group {
              fileTagsFilter: product.type
              qbs.install: true
          }
      }

      Like in the example, I would expect that qbsSearchPath expansion is available within the Item where the path is defined, and in all items refered to from there. But this doesn't work. Instead, Qbs throws a message "Unexpected item type 'MyCppApplication'.

      The attached archive provides a self-contained project showing this behavior (see NotWorking.qbs).
