Can you give an example of that sort of task ends up like this?
I think, in general, the idea with GTD is for tasks to be specific on a project by project basis.
So while there is nothing inherently wrong with wanting OF to do what you are talking about, it may also be worth considering whether there is another way of conceptualizing the project structure/workflow, so that the task doesn't need to be in, say, three different projects simultaneously.
At least for me, this is one of the powerful things about OF and GTD: the way it encourages/forces me to break my projects/tasks down into more logical bites that are easier to accomplish.
We can only ever really do one thing at a time. So GTD/OF is aimed at trying to help you to break things down in that way.
