Use a propertyset with a mapper:
<ant ...>
<propertyset>
<mapper type="glob" from="*" to="parent.*"/>
</propertyset>
</ant>
and then refer to the parent's dist.dir as ${parent.dist.dir}
alternatively, just override the specific property:
<ant ...>
<property name="parent.dist.dir" value="${dist.dir}"/>
</ant>
