Dependencies are not something to be "resolved", they're a relationship between modules or applications where one, the producer, is consumed by the other, the consumer. 

You have strong and weak dependencies, maybe that's what you are trying to find out?

Thanks Picco for the response, In discovery in escape cycle section, shows some graphic representation. in that it is telling direct and indirect dependency what does mean?

Hi,

See this picture:

The side reference is a direct dependency between enduser module A to B that brings a long a list of indirect depedencies to modules D, E and G. When you want to deploy A you now have to deploy B,D,E and G along. This is why side references are not desired, as your list of modules to deploy as a unit grows unessary,
