Except that if you do:
<property name="var1" value="$$a" />
<property name="var2" value="${var1}+somethingelse" />
<echo message="${var1},${var2}" />
you won't get what you expect... and if you remove the "a" from "$$a" you will
even get:

I'm not sure I've understood your problem. If you need a literal $
inside your build.xml write it as $$.
Does this help?
