Jan and I are both producing the same answer. Here's the overlap:
<project name="myproj" default="deploy-to-tomcat">
<target name="init-taskdefs">
<!-- taskdefs here -->
</target>
<target name="deploy-to-tomcat" depends="init-taskdefs">
<!-- stuff here -->
</target>
<target name="non-tomcat-task">
<!-- this should run fine now -->
</target>
</project>
Or near enough to get you going.
