When a child resource specifies that its `parent` is a parent resource, does that imply that the child resource `dependsOn` the parent resource as well?

I set up a dependency chain which creates a race condition and a "snapshot integrity failure" because it "refers to missing parent", but that shouldn't happen if `parent` implies `dependsOn`.

```Parent 1           Parent 2
   |                   |
Child 1------------&gt;Child 2```

In this case, Child 2 references Child 1. Child 2 is created first, which causes Child 1 to be created because of the dependency. However, since Parent 1 is not created yet, the update fails with the above error, because Child 1 references Parent 1 which hasn't been created at.

If `parent` implied `dependsOn`, Child 1 wouldn't be created until after Parent 1, preventing the error.

Well, I manually added the `dependsOn`, and ended up with un unresolved promises error, probably due to the cyclical dependency. I guess I need to refactor the dependency chain.
