Brian, I think I understand the way that the scopes build one on each other. Unfortunately my head naturally interprets my problem the opposite way around. I want to include everything 'up to' but not including 'test', so I figured that I wanted to exclude 'test'
I guess it's going to take some time to learn to think *this* way. Playing tongue-in-cheek devil's advocate for a moment, for a plugin that *includes* dependencies what kind of use case would require the ability to exclude, for example, compile and runtime and include test (junit) which I think is what I would get if I specified 'exclude runtime'?
