I'd back this up 100% btw. I think that Scott has been working on some stuff here that may be of interest to everyone - with some really nice data rollback capabilities. These dependent tests are not a good idea IMHO and we should make each one standalone. If you need to load similar (or even the same) data, no worries, that's why the loads should be in data files not in the tests themselves - so that they're reusable.
