Hello, I'm seeing some behavior in Maven 4 (beta-5 & rc1) where the order in which properties are overridden isn't what I'd expect, and I'd like some help in understanding what's going on.
I have a project where a property is set in a profile in a grandparent module (not in the reactor), and then overridden in the properties section of the parent module (in the reactor). In Maven 3, the value from the parent module is always used, which is the behavior that I'd expect. In Maven 4 this is the behavior I'm seeing in recursive builds (so, when using `-am -pl X` it uses the property from the parent), but for non-recursive builds (`-pl X`, without `-am`) it uses the property from the grandparent, not the one from the parent. I put together a reproducer here https://github.com/PtrTeixeira/maven-properties-demo/actions/runs/12243758564/job/34154011589. The property `basepom.test.skip` is set to `true` in a profile in the grandparent pom here https://github.com/basepom/basepom/blob/cb792c52689b63fbde5ee6cfda6b1cd7bb70e1f2/poms/oss/pom.xml#L377, then always overridden in the parent here https://github.com/PtrTeixeira/maven-properties-demo/blob/0afa19640929ab9606cbaf68e15ead0fda3facb6/pom.xml#L24. I'd expect `mvn help:evaluate -Dexpression="basepom.test.skip"` to always be `false`, but specifically when using `mvn4 -Pbasepom.oss-release -pl core-module help:evaluate -Dexpression="basepom.test.skip"` the result is `true` (the value from the grandparent) instead. Using `-am -pl core-module` produces the same result as in Maven 3. Is this the intended override order in Maven 4? What's the intuition I should have about what properties have priority? Thank you!
