 I think it is impossible. My target A looks like to:

   target A
     Job before
     Loop { antcall B }
     MyTask{getReference X}

 What I may do is to create my own 'call' task that calls a target in the same
 project (as depends attribute does I guess). Is it a good idea ?

 I will try that also.

 Yes, I understand that perfectly.
