I think the example could be even better to show you don't need any
copy and paste (your text says making copy paste less error prone, but
I think you should barely ever need copy paste).
This shows how you could get the exact same result with no copy paste:
<cruisecontrol xmlns:cb="urn:ccnet.config.builder">
<cb:define WorkingMainDir="C:\Integration\"/>
<cb:define WorkingDir="\WorkingDirectory"/>
<cb:define ArtifactsDir="\Artifacts"/>
<cb:define name="OurProject">
<project name="$(ProjectName)" queue="Q1" queuePriority="1">
<workingDirectory>$(WorkingMainDir)$(ProjectName)$(WorkingDir)</
workingDirectory>
<artifactDirectory>$(WorkingMainDir)$(ProjectName)$(ArtifactsDir)
</artifactDirectory>
</project>
</cb:define>
<cb:scope ProjectName="Alpha">
<cb:OurProject/>
</cb:scope>
<cb:scope ProjectName="Beta">
<cb:OurProject/>
</cb:scope>
</cruisecontrol>
