[rules-users] Rule project referencing

Hello I am looking for a comparable feature in drools that works similar to "rule project inheritance" in ILOG JRules. In JRules, one can define a rule project A that contains all the base-level rules. Then, a new rule project B can be defined that "references" rule project A. This automatically makes all the rules defined in rule project A available in project B. One can then add to that set of rules by defining new rules in project B or override specific rules in project A. This feature is very handy for setting up client-specific rules. You can start out with a vanilla set of rules specified in project A. If a particular client wants additional rules (or wants to override the default functionality), a new rule project B can be created for that client that references project A and has the additional rules. No need to copy-paste all the rules from A to B. That way, if a rule is fixed in A, all referencing child projects instantly benefit from the update. Is there a similar feature in drools or a way to achieve the same functionality?
