If you are trying to have task B start at an interval x after task A, try making the parent recur instead. you can set a start date for B that is x days after the recurrence (due) date of the parent. Suppose the task, "make a shopping list" begins two days earlier than "go shopping". Set the parent, "shopping" either to recur weekly on Monday, or one week after completion, for example. Have the first task, "to make a shopping list" inherit the due date of parent. Set both "complete tasks in order" and recur when all subtasks are complete on the parent. When you complete all of the tasks for the parent, they should all recur with the interval given.
