```
 boolean dependsOn(Dependency dependency)
```
    Determines whether this dependency depends on the provided dependency. The default behavior requires equality.
    
    Parameters:
    
    dependency - the dependency
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this dependency generates a dependency with the provided one
  - makesDependent
```
 boolean makesDependent(Dependency dependency)
```
    Determines whether the provided dependency depends on this dependency. The default behavior calls dependsOn, and provides a bidirectional dependency.
    
    Parameters:
    
    dependency - the dependency
    
    Returns:
    
    true if this dependency generates a dependency with the provided one
