If the BOM is the parent of the ejb3_1 module, then the ejb3_1 module will have the correct exported dependencies.  Now something else, project X, makes a depedendency upon ejb3_1.  Any "exclusion"s defined by the BOM will be *ignored*.  This is because Project X doesn't have the BOM in its hierarchy.  The way around this is to declare in Project X a dependency twice upon ejb3_1; once in "dependencies", once in "dependencyManagement" (with scope import).
