I'm not quite sure what you are saying here, but if you are trying to 
imply that multitask does not honor dependencies in ordering, you are 
incorrect.  If there is dependency declared, then a task won't run until 
all of its dependencies have finished.

That being said, there is a known bug in multitask where failures in 
dependencies are not properly transmitted to all dependent tasks.  But I 
don't think you were refering to that.
