Simple question -- does org-mode handle task dependencies? And, if so,
how well? In the outline form, I see you could setup parent-child
relationships between tasks. I'm looking for more of tasks that aren't
related, but are dependent on each other.
In particular, in a parent-child relationship, you might say "THIS task
is done when all of THOSE tasks are done" whereas I'm looking for more
of a "THIS task can be started when all of THOSE tasks are done".
How would you set this up in Org-Mode?

Maybe what you are looking for is this section
(info "(org) TODO dependencies")
in the manual.

Oh! Didn't see that before. It will take me some time to understand
org-depend.el which, I think, is what I'm looking for. Thanks.
Hmmm. That does bring up a question. Will MobileOrg handle
dependencies in the org-depend sense?
