Hi,

is there any plan to implement extension dependencies in 5.1?

With small changes it should be possible to support extension 
dependencies within the zend engine.

Right now there is no way to ensure that f.e. ext/session is loaded 
before ext/my_special_session if both are f.e. static.

Wez have done some work on dependencies that change load order at compile time 
and we (Wez and I) have tested it on different platforms and it seems to work 
OK.
