Re: depending TODOs, scheduling following TODOs automatically

[Russell Adams <RLAdams@AdamsInfoServ.Com>]

I know I'm replying to myself, but I had an idea.

If a link could show the state of a linked TODO, that would make for a
good visualization. I could then follow the link and just adjust my
order to account for dependencies. It sounds like a more "permanent"
agenda view that you could edit to get the right order.

Ie:

* Things to do in reverse order
** TODO One
** TODO Two
** TODO Three

* Implementation Order

 TODO Three
 TODO Two
 TODO One
