I hear that term referred to as "bubble up". I suppose there are a few different scenarios depending on how you represent and manage your assets. If your assets capture and store the references to its dependencies in a version-specific way, then updating one dependency might trigger the others to need to republish. Or, if your assets evaluate dynamically at runtime on concepts such as the "latest" or "approved" or "official" type aliases, then they can always pick up the appropriate reference at the time they are used. An example would be a scene asset which contains 2 character assets. If the scene refers to the characters by way of an alias to the "latest", then each time the scene is opened/rendered it would pick those up. Where as if that scene referenced specific versions like "char1_v2" and "char2_v3", then a bubble-up process might be necessary to republish the scene with new references (or a manual update triggered within the scene).
Does that at all fit into what you are talking about? I could be off base.
