Works for me in Windows XP, once I fixed your print/Print confusion. 
What environment are you in?

C:\tmp\x>type aa.py
import os
print "in", __file__
sysCode = os.system("bb.py")
print "executing bb.py ", sysCode

C:\tmp\x>type bb.py
import os
print "in", __file__
sysCode = os.system("cc.py")
print "executing cc.py ", sysCode

C:\tmp\x>type cc.py
import os
print "in", __file__

C:\tmp\x>python aa.py
in aa.py
in C:\tmp\x\bb.py
in C:\tmp\x\cc.py
executing cc.py  0
executing bb.py  0

C:\tmp\x>
