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.
