Thanks Gennadiy for the immediate & direct response. i can't seem to find a way to specify dependencies for Auto Registered use cases.. cos they are registered during static initialization which would occur before u had a chance to specify dependencies.  I'm thinking of the possiblility of tranversing the hierarcy from the master test suite, apparently, this seems non trivial, "i got lost in the plenitude of Macros being used" if there could be a way of manipulating the automated Registration test suites when invoking the initialization function Thanks.
