If you are saying a ticket can not be approved if other tickets that it depends upon have not been approved, then I agree. I am not sure it is absolutely necessary or right to require the ticket to be merged into something it depends on.
Do Forum members accept the philosophical principle that any ticket presented for a vote must stand on its own?
That is, a ticket should be rejected by the Forum if it requires the passage of some pending ticket to be made reasonable. The dependant ticket can be merged into the connected ticket before it is brought to the Plenary session.
(Perhaps it can be clearly marked as "Approval of tickets x, y, z are all prerequisites for voting this")This sounds like good bookkeeping to make sure something doesn't slide by accidentally.
