I think I haven�t understood you right...
Whith that approach you can specify global settings. The buildfiles load
several propertyfiles.
Because of the immutability of ant properties you can do something like:
<property file="build-${user.name}.properties"/> user and project
specific settings
<property file="build.properties"/> project specific
settings
<property file="${user.home}/ant.properties"/> user settings
<property file="${companyDir}/ant.properties"/> company settings
If the company defines javac.debug=false you can change that value on three
different places.

Alternatively you can use XML-Entity includes for common things.
build.xml
------------------------------------------------
<!DOCTYPE project [
<!ENTITY incl1 SYSTEM "file:build1.inc">
]>
<project default="main">
&incl1;
...
</project>
build1.inc
------------------------------------------------
<property name="text" value="hello world"/>
<target name="compile">
<javac ... />
</target>
