Description

For a project structure like

top-parent
  reactor-parent (inherits from top-parent)
    mod-a (inherits from reactor-parent)
    mod-b (inherits from reactor-parent, depends on mod-a)

where none of the projects resides in the local repo and an invocation of "mvn package" on reactor-parent (not top-parent), the class paths for mod-b will be missing all dependencies of mod-a because the project building request for mod-a on behalf of the metadata source will fail to resolve the top-parent despite it being locally reachable via <relativePath> from reactor-parent.
