Heh. My mistake. It *seemed* to the executing the targets... Until I released that the targets were empty :)
The include task is working as documented, but what I'd like to see is something analogous to include files in ASP where targets can be separated out into an external build file. This build file is the referenced in a master build file where the targets in the external build file may or may not be called from the master file. Using the <nant> task just doesn't cut it as you can't specific a target to execute. --Neil -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Ian MacLean Sent: 18 November 2004 04:40 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: 'NAnt Developers' Subject: Re: [nant-dev] Separating targets into individual files Neil Cowburn wrote: >I have a number of targets of various type (code compilers, file system >management, custom scripts) and I'd like to separate them out into >individual files and reference them from a master build file.

The include task should only execute top level ( project level ) tasks and not execute any targets. Can you post a small repro demonstrating the "all targets getting executed" behaviour.
