[Boost-build] Using the include path of a library without linking against it

Hello

I have a the following Jamfile:

project Example
   : requirements <link>static ;

lib lKernel
   : kernel/kernel.cpp
   : <include>./kernel
   :
   : <include>./kernel  ;

lib lPlugin
   : plugin/plugin.cpp
   : <library>lKernel
     <include>./plugin
   :
   : <include>./plugin ;

exe aTwo
   : mainTwo.cpp
   : <use>lPlugin ;

'aTwo' needs the include path of 'lPlugin' and should not link against it.
Therefore is used the <use> feature. When I compile 'aTwo' it does not link
'lPlugin' but it links 'lKernel'! But 'aTwo' should not link any of these
libraries, it should just get the include path of 'lPlugin'. I also used the
<dependency> feature instead of <use>, but the result is the same. 

Is there a way to add the include path of 'lPlugin' to 'aTwo' without also
adding any linking libraries? 

Thanks
