Hi Robin,

Current situation with blocks is that they not offer complete isolation because 
it was too hard to
implement at the first time.

It means that when you define properties in blocks they are visible everywhere. 
If you want to
override and set the same property in another block you get conflict as you 
probably guessed. The
solution that we offer at the moment for such situations is to resolve property 
files in an
alphabetic order (see[1]). Last definition of property wins.

In order to override a property you just need to put it in a file named in a 
such way that you can
be sure it will be read as last.

HTH.
