This doesn't seem right to me.
The "Using Ant" chapter of the "Ant User Manual" has always seemed
pretty clear on the subject:
"In a chain of dependencies stretching back from
a given target [...] each target gets executed
only once, even when more than one target
depends on it."
See text paragraph five of:
http://ant.apache.org/manual/using.html#targets
So shouldn't Laurie's "init" target only be executed once (without
having to fiddle with mysterious undocumented Ant settings)?!?!?

Since Ant 1.6.3 you can have this behavior by setting
the magic property "ant.executor.class" to
"org.apache.tools.ant.helper.SingleCheckExecutor".
This is not documented in the 1.6.3 manual as was
intended, however. The situation will be corrected in
the next release.
Thanks,
Matt
