Yes, although we should be careful with situations like this:

  <p:pipeline ...>
    <p:option name="base.dir" required="true"/>

    <p:pipeline>
      <p:option name="base.dir" required="true"/>
      ...

Ideally, also the following should be supported to allow for "global" variables:

<p:library>
  <p:variable name="base.dir" select="..." />
 
  <p:pipeline>
    <!-- $base.dir should be available here -->
