The slightly longer answer...
The problem is that at a high-level every <antcall>
invokes an new private "ANT" environment. Any
properties that are defined inside that new private
"ANT" enviroment are not copied back out to the
orignating "ANT" enviroment.
Your property ${admin} is loaded inside a private
"ANT" enviroment and so its visible/lifetime is
limited to that enviroment.
By using a depends= attribute (or a <macrodef>
technique) on starting target you retain the original
ANT enviroment through all the ANT targets and so all
properties definitions are retained.
Hope that helps
