Stefan, thanks very much for the reply. Part of my confusion came from trying to understand an existing build that I just took over, in which there were some <ant> calls where references were visible in the sub-ant WITHOUT inheritRefs=true. The build was running on Ant 1.6RC1, and stopped working when I upgraded to 1.7.1. Adding inheritRefs="true" in various places fixed the problem. Unfortunately this build system is so complex that I suspect it is self-aware :-) Each sub-build "includes" the same init task but then suppresses its execution based on a variable (... unless="init.done"), so figuring out what was actually executed is tricky. This may have been a bug in 1.6RC1, but you have confirmed that 1.7.1 is behaving as documented so I don't see a lot of value in trying to recreate the problem with a simple set of build files in 1.6RC1.
