\project project_mymag
move \product and \project below \start...
If you tex (compile) one single component (e.g. a chapter of a book) or product (e.g. one volume of a magazine), the environment file of the project is used.
In addition, you have to keep in mind that when compiling a product or component file, ConTeXt goes "up" to the project file and compiles everything it finds in there that is not a {{cmd|product}} (e.g. table of content, sectioning commands, text, {{cmd|component}} etc.). So all the things on project level have to be put inside a {{cmd|product}}, otherwise they will show up in the individual components (or products), too. That also makes it problematic to use {{cmd|component}} directly inside a project file, i.e. you '''have ''' to use {{cmd|product}}, you can't skip it. While you can compile ("tex") products and single components, the project is not intended for compiling; trying might lead to infinite inclusion loops and the error message "TeX capacity exceeded".
