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.
