Subject: Test cases dependencies?

Hi rubyists ;-)

Is it possible to create dependencies between ``test_'' methods, in a 
Test::Unit::TestCase object?

For instance, imagine the following:

   # Tests the ``foo'' library.
   require 'test/unit'
   class TC_foo < Test::Unit::TestCase
       def test_init
           # Test if the foo library can be initialized.
       end
       def test_bar
           # Test the ``bar'' method of the foo library.
           # This test requires that the library was
           # correctly initialized before.
       end
   end

If I run this sample, Test::Unit will firstly execute ``test_bar'', and 
secondly ``test_init'', because ``bar'' cames before ``init'' in the 
alphabetical order.

I would like that ``test_bar'' depends of ``test_init''.

Any ideas?
