That sentence confuses me but any variables (like
EXECUTABLE_OUPTUT_PATH) set in the parent scope (your base project) will
be propagated to the children (the thing which you add_subdirectory()).

So if your base CMakeLists is like this:

set (EXECUTABLE_OUPTUT_PATH "some/path/to/bin")
...
add_subdirectory (other_buildable)

then other_buildable will inherit its EXECUTABLE_OUTPUT_PATH from the
parent.
