Try this:
<project ...>
<target name="X" unless="Xcalled">
<echo message="Hi X"/>
<property name="Xcalled" value="true"/>
</target>
<target name="A" depends="X">
<echo message="Hi A"/>
</target>
<target name="B" depends="super">
<echo message="Hi B"/>
</target>
<target name="C" depends="super">
<echo message="Hi C"/>
</target>
</project>
and invoke ant A C now: "Hi X" will be printed just once.

The above example would work for this too?
Just make sure the property Xcalled is not defined
earlier than in the target X.
