Hi bsag, Here's my two cents (two p? ;). In the GUI (that is, on the project page), the dependent actions could be in a dependent actions section, just like the tickler actions are in their own section. I would, for simplicity's sake, only let a next action be dependent on one and only one other next action. Each action then could have only one parent and one child. One could choose to have a dependency chain, to use the tickler, or to avoid dependencies altogether.
