I just factored out a build file snippet into a separate target,
changing the <if></if> task containing the snippet to an if= attribute
on the new target. Much to my surprise, the <include> task within the
snippet stopped working.
Doing this triggered my memory, and sure enough the documentation says
that <include> must be at the top level. Hence
<target ...>
<include...>
</target>
fails. However,
<target ...>
<if ...>
<include ...>
</if>
</target>
not only works just fine, but does exactly what I want it to do.
So the question is why can't it be made to work anywhere? I know the
<include> task has been discussed before, resulting in some
clarification in the docs, but I don't recall any discussion as to why
it must work this way.
And whatever you do, don't fix it so that this no longer works :-). I'm
depending upon this behavior. (I could work around it, but it's an
annoying complication.)
