Let me clarify.

If I were to add a few extra "modules" to the system.  A, B, and C.
If B needed A and C to start before it, then if I were to remove
module A, B wouldn't start because its prereqs aren't there.  These
modules would be added, for example, in a package.

Btw, for those that were asking, each file has lines like the
following:

# PROVIDE: ipmon
# REQUIRE: syslogd

which allows one to give a good dependency graph.
