You can use the includes/excludes attributes of <fileset>:
<property name="patternset1"
value="**/pattern1a/**,
**/pattern1b/**,
..." />
<property name="patternset2"
value="**/pattern2a/**,
**/pattern2b/**,
..." />
<fileset includes="${patternset1}"
includes="${patternset2}" />
<fileset includes="${patternset2}"
includes="${patternset1}" />
This is basically the same as playing with the includesfile/excludesfile,
but using properties, as Erik said was possible. --DD

Thanks for your speedy reply!
Some of the patternsets have multiple patterns, disqualifying it as a
simple string, right? I mean, I could use more properties...
I think a fileset should have something like: <not><patternset/></not>
which would invert all the includes and excludes. Or <invert> if not
would not make sense because it would be used for other Boolean
operations.

Thats one way. Another option is if your patternset is a simple string
to assign it to a property and use it in both cases that way.
Or perhaps the new Selector stuff could be leveraged with a <not> in one
case?
