released that the targets were empty :)
The include task is working as documented, but what I'd like to see is
something analogous to include files in ASP where targets can be separated
out into an external build file. This build file is the referenced in a
master build file where the targets in the external build file may or may
not be called from the master file. Using the <nant> task just doesn't cut
it as you can't specific a target to execute.

What I would like to be able to do is something like this:
<project name="...">

<!-- Scripted target collection --> <include buildfile="scripts.build" />
<target name="build">
<!-- 'myFunkyLittleScriptTarget' is defined in scripts.build -->
<call target="myFunkyLittleScriptTarget" /> </target>
</project>
In the current model, all the targets in scrips.build would get called and the <call> task would try to invoke a target that is not defined. Has anyone any thoughts on how I can achieve my goal?
execute top level ( project level ) tasks and not execute any targets. Can you post a small repro demonstrating the "all targets getting executed"
behaviour.
