View Task #50

Summary: Create mechanism to determine component dependencies

Difficulty: 2    Version goal: Future   
Status: Unassigned   

Description
New Parser method that, given a component, returns a list of components used by it (dependencies). 95% of this information could be determined automatically by looking for standard tags; the other 5% would be gleaned from a special tag or section (e.g. <%uses>). Dependency information can aid a variety of tasks:

-- Automatic data cache expiration

-- Sending Last-Modified headers

-- Content management (components used by this component)
