Comment (by tazotodua):

 With my opinion, plugin dependency in "plugin header" is the most
 undesired way.
 I think "dependencies" list should be dynamic (dynamic function is much
 flexible), within plugins own variable, like:


 {{{

 //========= with PHP libraries =======//
 foreach (array("LibraryXYZ", "libraryABC") as $e) {
 wp_include_framework($e) };



 //========= with JS libraries =======//
 foreach (array("jquery-ui", "fancybox") as $e) {
 wp_ensure_to_download_library_if_not_exists($e) };
 ...
 <script src="<?php echo $WP_FrameWork_URLS_Global_Array['jquery-ui']; ?>"
 }}}



 it should be with the similar function I mentioned
