Can I declare the property value in an ant target and use this value into another target?

I am pretty new in Ant and I have the following doubt:

If I declare a property in a specific target, for example this:

<target name="initUnixPath" if="unix">
    <echo message="initUnixPath: SETTING UNIX PATH" />
    <property name="path">/usr/share/XCloud/appl/lib/</property>
</target>

In a second time (in another target) can I use the path named property and initialized in the initUnixPath target?

Tnx

Andrea

you can make the second target "depends" on the first target that has the property defined. Then use the property in the second target.

    <project default="child">
      <target name="child" depends="parent">
        <property name="firstname" value="Reji"/>
        <echo>${firstname}</echo>
        <echo>${lastname}</echo>
      </target>
      <target name="parent">
        <property name="lastname" value="Nair"/>
      </target>
    </project>
