Ok to answer my own question. Although the entity declarations may not work the Include task looks like a suitable replacement.
Docs don't appear to be too explicit as to whether the buildfile property path is relative to the including XML file or the current directory. It appears to be the current directory... How does this work when the -find option is used? If I run Nant from a subdir and it finds a buildfile in a higher directory with an include task it will attempt to find the build file relative to my current directory when it should be relative to the including build file.
