That is absolutely untrue.  We routinely load DLLs that are linked 
against other DLLs (on many different OSes), and everything gets loaded 
just fine.

Even the Java VM depends on this (e.g. fontmanager.dll on Windows 
(loaded via System.loadLibrary()) depends on Winspool.dll, which is not 
a dependency of either java.exe or jvm.dll).

Perhaps *you* had some corrupted DLL or SO setup, and ran into trouble..
