Requirements for Software

I noticed that some software requires other pieces of software to be installed before it can be installed, is there a way to tie it together? Otherwise I have to wait to deploy the software and find what is required for it and then deploy that piece. I know application manager creates required pieces in MECM automatically for a software but its tough to know what is needed for which software, especially if you have a lot. Some way of identifying what it is for which software or auto deploying it with that software would be nice.
