Should have read instead: Getting inbox to empty coming before Cleaning 
chores pomodoro context.

 Hi!
 Just like you can have dependancies between tasks, how about dependancies 
 within contexts.
 Here is my simple example:
 - I wake up in the morning, not out of bed yet, so here is context  Waking 
 up.
 - tasks like: 1-Do specific breathing exercices to reenergise; 2- writing 
 down fresh ideas for projects while still in a pending or blurry state of 
 mind (brainstorming); specific stretching exercices in bed to revigorifier.
 
 Then comes the Getting out of bed context, where tasks like: 1- start 
 coffee machine; make bed; prepare breakfast for the 3 year old; read journal; 
 etc.
 
 Then I have more contexts like these that follow, like Getting inbox to 
 empty pomodoro and Cleaning chores pomodoro
 
 So, there is a sequence here that obviously has to be respected, (for me I 
 mean) like Getting inbox to empty not coming before Cleaning chores 
 pomodoro context.
 
 I want the appropriate contexts to appear, once the precedent context tasks 
 has been completed!!!
 
 And if I may, before somebody suggests it, the open and closed hours for 
 context don't work because my work schedule varies, so I don't come out of 
 bed necesseraly at the same time each morning.
 
 In other words, I just hate having contexts appear that are not actionable in 
 the present moment, but that will maybe be actionable in 10 minutes, once I 
 clear the tasks of the present active context.
 Thanks!
 Luc!
 Hope I am clear enough!

Hi Luc,
If you want to propose dependencies between contexts, you should write
it up on the website at mlo.uservoice.com - if it gets a lot of votes
it will be noticed.

Meanwhile, as a workaround, I wonder if you have considered using
projects instead of contexts.

Imagine the following:
[] Daily routine (project)
   [] Get up (project)
  [] Wake up (task)
  [] Get outta bed (task)
   [] Get started (project)
  [] Drag a comb across my head
  [] Find my way downstairs
  [] Have a cup

Daily Routine is defined as a project that repeats daily, with all
tasks regenerated on recurrence, and with recurrence happening when
all tasks are complete. Everything else is defined as inherit dates
from parent.

Get Started is dependent on Get up

When the day starts, the only active tasks (in this section) are wake
up, get outta bed. When you have completed these two tasks, the
project get up appears on your list and has to be checked off, but
as soon as you have done this, the last three tasks show up. There's
an added step of checking off the get up project but other then
thst, it seems to do what you want.

That was funny Dwight! Drag a comb across my head; find my way downstairs I 
like your humor!
...And very interesting idea to use projects instead of contexts. I'll give it 
a try! The idea of dependancies between projects could work!
