Thanks Guys,
Actually i was trying to avoid that conditional looping and trying to set up
new variables just to control the execution of the targets.

Moreover, I think the "unless" should accept the target name to avoid
setting an explicit property eg:

<target name = "first" />
<target name="second" unless="first" />

Anyways, thanks for all your help and time guys...appreciate it.
