Understood.

Oh, I was too lazy to write a working example.

So when this task got marked as DONE, the headings with the ID
propertes "previousXY" and "prevZ" must not have been in an open
state. Further more, the headings with ID "foo1" got the new states
NEXT and "bar1" WAITING accordingly.

That's basically it.

I hope I could describe the dependency definitions properly now.
