It doesn't (and there really isn't such a thing as a "sub project"). If you want to share settings, consider using xcconfig files.
Right. All projects are peers of one another. Any hierarchical presentation of projects in the Project Navigator (in Xcode 4) is purely for convenience of presentation and does not imply an ownership or inheritance relationship, it only means that one project is "aware of" the existence of another for the purposes of creating dependencies of its targets on the other project's targets.
Similarly, all targets are peers of one another, and they do not inherit build settings from each other, regardless of whether a target depends on another one.
