Error description

1. Problem description
Server environment of chained project does not override
calling project environment

    BF reference manual describes environment overrides as
below sequence. But No.3 does not work and calling environment
is used in called project if No.4 or No.5 is not defined.

    1)Called project server environment.
    2)Calling project's variables, in a set, with 'BF_'
variable names changed to 'BF_CALLER_'.
    3.)Called project server environment (applied a second time
in case it was modified by the caller's variables).
    4)Called project environment.
    5)Step environments (if specified) as they are run.

2. Environment
    Customer reported it was found in 7.1.2.2-iFix1, but it is
also reproduced in 7.1.3.5

3. Reproduce steps.
1. Test Case
    Project-A      Server      Server Environment
-------------------------------------------------------
    Project-A --- server1 --- ENV_A
    Project-B --- server2 --- ENV_B

    ENV-A
    ---------------
       var1 --- 1
       var2 --- 2

    ENV-B
    ---------------
       var2 --- 1
       var3 --- 3

2. A step in Project-A calls Project-B by .run command
3. 'var2' is defined in both ENV_A and ENV_B.
    'var2' should have value '1' according to Information
Center, but its value is '2' that inherits from Project-B.
4.  'var2' value is '1' when associate ENV_B to Project-B or
step of Project-B by no.4 and no.5 according to Information
Center.
