[Novalug] Ant weirdness

Hi All,

encountered the following with ant today, need some advise:

i have build.xml, build.properties and build.properties.2

in both build.properties and build.properties.2, i have:
foo.var = blah
bar.var = $(foo.var}

without using the -buildfile command line argument (defaulting to  
build.properties), bar.var is assigned correctly to foo.var

whereas, if i use the -buildfile argument to specify build.properties. 
2, bar.var is assigned "${foo.var}"

am i missing something? or used the argument wrong?

Thanks in advance

Ben
