My first inclination was to try and make jobs more atomic, but if *both*
of you think job dependancies are useful, well...

Table name queue_depend (don't forget to create it), see
FS::queue->depend_insert to create dependancies
(FS::part_export::sqlradius.pm for an example).  Make sure you wrap the
whole thing in a transaction.

I'm curious; can you elaborate a little?
