------- Additional Comments From conor@cortexebusiness.com.au  2003-01-27 15:21 -------
No, this is not a bug. Ant parses

${${xx}-${xx}}

as 4 tokens

${${xx}  =  ${${xx}
-        =  -
${xx}    =  yy
}        =  }

combining this as ${${xx}-yy}

i.e the first brace closes the property, not the outer one (because Ant does not
support nested properties). Thus the second property reference becomes visible.
