I had no trouble to set up this using the examples from
http://doc.norang.ca/org-mode.html and
http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contrib/org-depend.html

With org-depend you can also use another method to overcome this
problem:

** NEXT Task B
   [...]
   :ID: mytaskB
   [...]

** NEXT Task C
   [...]
   :BLOCKER: mytaskB
   [...]

I am not using stuck project information (yet) but this does not
show Task C on my agenda at least. Which is quite nice since it is
way more flexible and can be used in a broader way.
