Bob,
You are correct in that I'm trying to put together a couple of variables.
The build order is assigned to the variable ${properties.project.Ord}. I then
append to the end of that variable the .ProjectName, .ViewName, and .Label and
assign them to ${ProjectName}. I then pass $ProjectName to my starteam checkout.
The trouble is that ${properties.project.Ord} returns as "NETDLLS" but when I
want the variable ${NETDLLS.ProjectName} to be returned as
"NETDLLs.ProjectName=Windows - .NET DLLs" it instead comes back as
"NETDLLS.ProjectName".
StarTeam goes looking for a NETDLLS.ProjectName and of course can't find it and
dies.
Thanks for the help!
Much appreciated!
-Doug

I assume based on your title "nested variables" you want to do something like
this:
<property name="ProjectName"
value="${property::get-value('properties.project.Ord.ProjectName')}"/>
