<div dir="ltr">Repository-hosted Themes cannot *require* usage of any particular Plugin. Themes must be fully functional, and conform to the guidelines, without the need to install/activate any particular Plugin. You may, however, build in *integration support* for a Plugin, as enhanced functionality. In such case, state the enhanced functionality in the Theme description and/or in the readme.<div>
<br></div><div>Something like Facebook comments would fall under this guideline: your Theme must implement core comment handling out-of-the-box, but you can design in support for layout/styling of Facebook comments.</div>
