I don't have a multi-project project to test this out at the moment, but here's something to keep in mind. When you switch between windows with multiple projects open, Xcode will often change the "active" project based on your window selection and navigation. The active project is the one that commands like Build and Find In Project will apply to. This can be counter-intuative at times.

Breakpoints are stored on a per-project basis, so look in the Windows menu before setting your breakpoint to see if you haven't inadvertently switched projects. I don't guarantee that this is your problem, but it's a variable to consider.
