My book "Xcode 3 Unleashed" relies on being able to create two

This worked through Xcode 3.0.x, but the new method for creating
projects doesn't allow for selecting a directory independently of
the placement of the project file.
Am I right that there is no simple way to achieve the same thing? (I
could make two directories and copy the contents, but that isn't
simple.)
I think I know the answer, but I wanted to verify it before delving
further.
And here is my further delving, though I'd be grateful for comments.
1. There's no way to create a second project in another project's
directory. This is a good thing, because instantiating the second
project's templates may create file-name collisions.
2. Having two projects in the same directory made sense if you wanted
them to share a build directory. There are other ways to do that, but
sharing the project directory was, through 3.0.x, the simplest way to
do it.
3. However, Xcode 3.1.x is much smarter about finding the products of
dependent projects. The shared-build-directory workarounds are no
longer necessary. Put the two projects' directories anywhere you like
(one inside the other simplifies SCM), set up the dependencies as
before, and everything should work.
Is this the right approach?
