Inherited properties are not inherited as readonly. There is nothing
stopping a child/called project from changing the value of an inherited
property. If you want to test you can use a ifnot propertyexists=debug
... /ifnot to check for the properties existence before setting it. See
this thread for more background.

Note: inheritall=true is the default.
Hope that helps,

Subject: [nant-dev] Inherited property values
I've been wrestling with getting a 'debug' value to cascade properly, and
am
beginning to think there's an issue with how properties are defined.
So, this is what I tried:
file1:
project name=file1 default=rel
property name=debug value=true /
target name=rel
property name=debug value=false /
nant buildfile=file2 inheritall=true /
/target
/project
file2:
project name=file2 default=compile
property name=debug value=true /
target name=compile
csc debug=${debug} ... /
/target
/project
Expected results in target='compile'
1) 'nant -f:file1' should result in debug=false (actual was true)
2) 'nant -f:file2' should result in debug=true
3) 'nant -f:file1 -D:debug=true' should result in debug=true
4) 'nant -f:file1' -D:debug=false should result in debug=false
Case 1 appears to be incorrect. Is inheritall begin ignored? Do I not
understand properties? Why are the other three producing expected
results?
