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

two .xcodeproj files.
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?
There are a number of other reasons why #3 is a good direction to
pursue. However, I'd suggest filing a bug on not being able to create
a second project in the same directory (since there are also good
reasons to be able to do that).
