Have a look on the following file :
%projectname%/client_conf/outline.ini
It should contains the following statement to be able to keep several 
outline : multipleShapes = true

Cf:

Pierre Giraud (who also work on Camptocamp) had worked on this kind of 
stuff this days, i let him answer on this point.

A quick answer could be: 'not to name a project with a plugin name'

A bit more longer one :
You could find a way to play with it, via a MapId name different than
your project one. But it will create others problems in htdocs directory
with symlink mode, anyway. So it should be avoided... A kind of reserved
keyword in fact...

HTH :)
