Your solution works only on sequential processing.  If I run the task
in parallel, I get unexpected result:

   <target name="build">
        <parallel>
           <a module="venus"/>
           <echo>outside macro: ${myvalue}</echo>
           <a module="mars"/>
           <echo>outside macro: ${myvalue}</echo>
        </parallel>
   </target>
