Nested conditions could collaborate implicitly.  E.g.,

   <connection url="" user="" pass="">
        <statement>
            <resultset>
                <connection> <%-- no url specified, so use parent's --%>
                   <statement>
                        <resultset />
                   </statement>
                </connection>
            </resultset>
        </statement>
    </connection>
