Thank you Carsten, and others who chipped in with help. That was my 
mistake. The org-enforce-todo-dependencies was set in my .emacs file 
within a custom-set-variables block which came after some Org require 
statements. Moving it before the require statements has fixed my problem.

I had read the help for the variable, but thought that it simply meant 
that any changes to the variable wouldn't take effect until after 
restarting the org-mode session. It hadn't occurred to me about the 
order of statements in my .emacs file.

Thanks again.
