I have a project where I build a Library and then have a bunch of  
other projects use that directory. I also have some unit tests setup  
within the library project that uses the generated library to link  
against.

My project setup is like:

Project/
      CMakeLists.txt
      src/
         Testing/Test1.cpp
	Library/MyLibrary.cpp

I in the CMakeLists.txt file I have the library built and then I  
ADD_SUBDIRECOTRY(${CMAKE_CURRENT_SRC_DIR}/src/Testing/)

Have a look at http://titanium.imts.us/viewvc/Task_7/MXADataModel/ to  
see how I have things setup. It might help you figure something out.
