actually this is almost equivelent to 
ant clean
ant build
ant test1
ant test2

except that the properties are kept between each run. So there is no magic 
working out of dependencies etc.

In Ant2 we have discussed making it exactly equivelent to 
ant clean
ant build
ant test1
ant test2

due to user requests.

you could try
<antcall target="clean"/>
<antcall target="build"/>
...
