I get the following warning:

DEPRECATION WARNING: depend\_on is deprecated and will be removed from  
Rails 2.0 See [http://www.rubyonrails.org/deprecation](http://www.rubyonrails.org/deprecation) for details.

The referenced page has no information about depend\_on – any ideas  
where to go to learn about this?

Thanks…jon
