Hi,

It seems to work alright based on my test case. As per Erik's suggestion, I reviewed 
the "prefix" parameter of the property task:

"Prefix to apply to properties loaded using file or resource. A "." is appended to the 
prefix if not specified."

I wasn't able to extrapolate from that description how that could be applied to what 
I'm up to, unless the idea is that I could prefix one set of properties to be sure 
they didn't collide with the other set? Since each file contains it's own unique set 
of properties and values, I'm not sure I would need to go down that path...?
