I typically handle this using the ordered property.

--------
* Project
:PROPERTIES:
:ORDERED: t
:END:
** VERIFY Task I am waiting on (I have a TODO state named VERIFY in my =
normal setup)
** TODO Task I need to do first (after waiting)
** TODO Task I need to do second (after waiting and after the do first)
-------

Note that on the VERIFY task I usually also have a person-based tag that =
tells me who it is that I'm waiting on
