I'm afraid this hasn't been resolved yet. The way the if attribute on
nested include tags works is that MatchingTask.NameEntry *knows* the
value is going to be the *name* of a property and can therefore ask
Project for the current - at execution time - value.
There have been thoughts about employing scripts for this purpose. I
don't think this part has really been sorted out yet.
