As Antoine already mentioned, not for an arbitrarily-deep hierarchy,
and not without contorsions.
But may I inquire why you need that? In my experience, properties
files are in known locations, either absolute, or more likely relative
to the "basedir", or some file.
For example, If in your case the .properties is in config/ relative to
the build.xml that would found via the -s CLI switch, you can load the
properties file using <property file="${basedir}/config/rz.properties"
/>, whereas <property file="rz.properties" /> uses either ${basedir}
or the current directory (I don't remember which).
Just a guess as to the motivation behind your question ;) --DD
