What does your code do if you have two levels of

The whole point is to have that as a property so you
do not get confuse with regular text.

Take the snipped above, and lets assume it is in file
buildA.xml with its import in buildB.xml.
Define buildC.xml as:
<import file="buildA.xml">
<target name="mb2" depends="super.mb2"/>
Now ${mbextra} should expand to "super.super.mb2" and
not to "super.mb2" since the super is the target in
"buildB.xml". But the above code will call the one in
buildA.xml. (If I understood you translation
correctly).
As for the solution, the translation scheme I proposed
in my previous message will do.
