Dependee Component Expansion

A dependee-component specifies the component on which the current component depends as a result of a dependency created by a <createDependency> step, and has the component resolution semantics of the <dependee> installed component targeter described in Chapter 2, "Installed Component Targeter" section. It has the following syntax:

	dependee:dependency-name

Above, dependency-name is the name of a dependency created by the current component.

A dependee-component may only be used as a primary-component when the external component substitution reference appears within a component. When used as a primary-component, it may not be used as the default value of a component variable or override variable setting, as the dependency will not yet have been created when the variable is evaluated.
