it's not a property file per se, but a project file that defines
properties, like so:

c:\_myprops.build
------8<------
<project name="locally-defined porperties" >
  <property name="include.this" value="included value of a prop" />
</project>
------8<------

then you just include this file like so (note the <include> task can't
be inside a target ):

<include buildfile="c:\_myprops.build" />

<target name="test-propfile" >
  <echo message="included prop:  ${include.this}" />
</target>
