I tried the following three files:
top.xml
<project name="top" default="doit">
<target name="doit">
<path id="classes">
<pathelement location="classes"/>
</path>
<ant antfile="second.xml" target="deploy"
inheritrefs="true"/>
</target>
</project>
second.xml
<project name="second" default="deploy">
<target name="deploy">
<property name="spro.classpath" refid="classes"/>
<ant antfile="third.xml" target="all"
inheritrefs="true"/>
</target>
</project>
and
third.xml
<project name="third" default="all">
<target name="all">
<echo>spro.classpath is ${spro.classpath}</echo>
</target>
</project>
ant -f top.xml
generates:
doit:
deploy:
all:
[echo] spro.classpath is /home/preilly/learning/ant/classes
On both ant 1.5.3 and ant 1.6beta
There may be something else wrong with your script.
