How to add several references together in VS project

Question

Hello,

I have a project A with specific content (several files), that is copied to output dir.

Project B references project A, so compilation of project B copies the content of project A to output dir too.

Finally, there is a project C, that references project B, but compilation of project C does not copy the content of project A. Project C must reference also project A to copy its content.

I have many projects like "project C" and all of them must reference both projects A and B. Is it possible to make some functionality, that automatically adds reference to A, when B is referenced?

Thanks in advance.
