I have implementes another approach for this, which is a little more 
flexible by supporting three different types of dependency creations:

1. "Pretasks" are necessary prequisites for a ticket
2. "Posttasks" depend on the actual ticket

and

3. "Clones" are only related to a ticket, so you may use it to split a 
ticket into many.

screenshots are visible on 
<http://page.mi.fu-berlin.de/~pape/rt3screenshots/>.

My GUI hooks into every transaction, so tickets are not created from the 
dependencies page but from the history list, which makes it possible to 
"carry" a transaction's content into the new ticket.

I will pack this into patches of html-files soon and contribute them to the 
list.

I would be happy if a feature like this would be taken into core RT.

Regards,
Dirk.
