well, it's probably due to the fact that your <property>-task for property
'c' was processed before the tasks for the properties 'a' and 'b'. i.e.
<property name="a" value="aaa"/>
<property name="b" value="bbb"/>
<property name="c" value="${a}.${b}"/>
will work, but
<property name="c" value="${a}.${b}"/>
<property name="a" value="aaa"/>
<property name="b" value="bbb"/>
won't. hope this helps.
