OK, I'm not sure if I follow you correctly.
Each time I read it, I get a different view of what you are saying.
In this case:
<target name="A">
<property name="prop" value="A"/>
<echo message="${prop}"/>
</target>
<target name="B" depends="A">
<property name="prop" value="B"/>
<echo message="${prop}"/>
</target>
$ ant B
should print
A
A
The series of steps ant performs is
Run "target-B"
"target-B" requires "target-A", so..
Run "target-A"
prop="A"
echo ${prop}
(End target-A)
prop="B" - prop is already set, do nothing
echo ${prop}
(End target-B)
