While it is possible to execute a task from another, I think you would have to
use an internal method to do so (AbstractTask.execute). I would not recommend
doing this.
Most of the time these needs can be met by factoring some of the body of a task
out into a shared groovy method (this is just a DSL on top of groovy after all),
or using task dependency.

task sometask << {
sometask.myprop = 'dynamic property'}
task anothertask << { println "from anothertask,
sometask.myprop=${sometask.myprop}" }
