Well as a point Ant doesn't want to be as complex as make and this adds a
lot of complexity. Also property substitution will go away in a future
version of ant.

Well some similar functionality may be available with the path tags that
are in progress of being integrated into ant. As to the workaround ? Use
standard directories and let jar work with whole directory. If you need to
compile from one source tree and place in multiple jars different parts
then you will have to compile to multiple different directories and then
jar thos directories.
ie
<property name="sources1" value="a.java,b.java">
<property name="sources2" value="c.java,d.java">
...
<javac srcdir="."
destdir="classes/sources1"
includes="${sources1}"/>
<javac srcdir="."
destdir="classes/sources2"
includes="${sources2}"/>
...
<jar jarfile="sources1.jar"
basedir="classes/sources1" />
<jar jarfile="sources2.jar"
basedir="classes/sources2"/>
...
