That's what you're saying, right ? not sure how to handle: <fileset id="foo"> <include name="a"/> </fileset> <fileset id="foo"> <fileset refid="foo"/> <include name="b"/> </fileset> We have to Scan() nested fileset when redefinition takes place. Not later when outter fileset is used for first time... But it looks logical to me since inner fileset is "used" in the definition of outter fileset. > For tasks like <zip> support for multiple top level filesets > is still better [snip] > You cannot accomplish this using nested filesets.

Maybe I'd find some time to look into it when I'll code other fileset stuff.
