I saw them in a few places (for example many CLASSPATHs seem to
include bootstrap-ant and ant) but never found the time to complain
until it finally started to cause problems, sorry.

Yes, it means "when you build cactus, include checkstyle and all
projects checkstyle has marked up with runtime="true" in the
CLASSPATH". It also means "I'm not interested in anything checkstyle
depends on with runtime="false" (the default) unless I explicitly
depend on it myself".

Yes, it means "when you build checkstyle, include anakia and all
projects anakia has marked up with runtime="true" in the
CLASSPATH". It also means "I'm not interested in anything anakia
depends on with runtime="false" (the default) unless I explicitly
depend on it myself".
So during the cactus build, Anakia shouldn't be present at all, since
checkstyle doesn't say runtime="true" here.

They shouldn't be inherited at all. And even if they were, say
checkstyle had
<depend project="anakia" inherit="runtime" runtime="true"/>
then the jars contributed by anakia should be on the CLASSPATH when
building cactus, but not when building struts-taglib, because
struts-taglib says
<depend project="jakarta-cactus-framework-12" />
which means
"when you build struts-taglib, include jakarta-cactus-framework-12 and
nothing else. I'm not interested in anything
jakarta-cactus-framework-12 depends on no matter what runtime says
unless I explicitly depend on it myself".
