Yes.

No. The SubProjects must be on the identical folder level than the main 
project, i.e. in the example above you will have 4 Eclipse projects (MAIN, 
SUB1, SUB2, SUB3). MAIN will contain these subfolders
|- docs
|- include
|- lib
|- project
|    |- eclipse
|    |- MSVC
|
|- src
and SUB1 will contain
|- win32
   |- MSVC

etc.

There is an alternative. You create the MAIN project as described above 
and a project "thirdparty" with all its subfolders. Then you create Make 
Targets (search this forum how to do this) for all the subprojects to call 
the makefiles residing in them.
