I have something similar where I want to be able to either create an entire 
magazine from the root level or just an individual article (to send to the 
author for proofing) from the articles sub-directory. I spent ages looking into 
the project structure and eventually realised that the simple solution was to 
put two \usepath statements into my project.tex file. :-)

So I have:

  \usepath [environments,articles]
  \usepath [../environments,../articles]

For you that might translate to:

  \usepath [asset,asset/tex,results,source]
  \usepath [../asset,../asset/tex,../results,../source]

which should work from root and one level down but probably not from two levels 
down i.e. not from within ./asset/tex. For that you might need a third \usepath 
with ../../asset etc.
