These sounds like a subroutine modifying the local variables of the caller. Not too structured programming. Since properties are write-once, I am not sure how scoping will solve the problem. Wouldn't some of these issues be solved if we had a way to "import" or "include" one project into another? It seem that a lot of the need is to be able to have master template files with definitions and have the real buildfiles just load stuff from there. Just like make's include directive.
