This is a general rule: all file paths are (or at least should be) relative
to the project that contains them. With this approach it doesn't matter
where you run your buildfile - it should always behave the same. NAnt tasks
take care of making all file paths absolute when passing them to external
utilities.
If you want to have paths relative to the current directory, use
directory::get-current-directory() for that:
<property
name="path1"
value="${path::combine(directory::get-current-directory(),
'some_file_name')}" />
