            Description

            Sometimes the dependency relationship between resources is not that strict, that is when there is no need to load all the transitive resources before. It is good enough to just load the resource after the resources defined in the metadata, if some are not loaded the dependant resource's code will adapt.
            For example:

            E depends on B
            C depends on B
            B depends on A

            D depends (load only) on E, C

            When only A and B is loaded, D is just ordered after these without forcing the loading of E and C.

                "load-after" tag was introduced in the resource-dependency.xml structure that can be used to define dependencies that require only ordering.

                Example:

                <resource name="E" library="...">
   <depends-on>
      <resource name="B" library="..."/>
   </depends-on>
</resource>
...
<resource name="D" library="...">
   <load-after>
      <resource name="C" library="..."/>
      <resource name="E" library="..."/>
   </load-after>
</resource>

                I think it makes sense to keep the original "depends-on" element name for the original dependency-only (not loading) behaviour. This protects any existing applications from possible negative side-effects.

                Then we just document the new "load-after" element as a new improvement that also loads the resource in addition to declaring the ordering dependency.

                We can update our own resource-dependency.xml files readily to use the new feature as well.

                depends-on element is used now for the original dependency-only (not loading) behaviour. requires is the (container) element that enforces the loading of listed dependencies before the specified resource is loaded.
