So the difference between path and fileset is that the first is ordered and the latter is unordered?

I didn't see that possiblity... But, is there a way to re-use a path inside a fileset? I think using a fileset inside a path is a bad way, because the special quality of a path, perserving the order, is lost by defining a path using a fileset. Using it vice versa, that is define a fileset using a path, doesn't have this disadvantage. BTW, in my example, defining path and fileset using a property, the order information is not lost in the path.
