<snipped out detail>

Let's simplify what you're trying to do. (lot's of experience has taught 
me.. if it's really difficult, you may be doing it wrong (the way you 
think it should be vs. the way it actually is))
1. What are your inputs?
2. What are your outputs?
3. How do you determine flags for "compiling"?

Based on your previous emails:

    "the compiler does almost all the job, it find the required sources
    by inferring from the code what it should be looking for"


So it parses the sources looking for info on it's dependencies?

    "For instance, the compiler has a concept of modules, so it would
    compile a group of files, and then would compile a module using the
    first group in a similar way you'd use headers in C, when linking
    dynamic libraries."

How does it determine the modules?

    "Step 1: I've overridden _execute in FlashBuilderBase in order to be
    able to gather some important information about the project (often
    times Flash comes with Eclipse-style project files, so I'm parsing
    the project file, and interpret the information I find in it in a
    way it will be useful later during the build)."

Is the project file for all sources you're trying to compile, or per 
module, or some other grouping?

As Gary stated in another email, you probably can use a separate 
environment per group of code to get the appropriate flags to them.
