IOKit Kext Dependencies

Is there a way of expressing dependencies on classes other than the
classes that a kext is a subclass of?

For example, I'm developing a kext that obviously has dependencies on
it's base class, but it also needs to find another class in the
registry. It would be best if an instance of the dependent class was
already loaded when the second class loads.

Is it possible to express such a dependency in the Info.plist?
Info.plist has OSBundleLibraries but that seems like it is too high.

Our implementation has two classes that coordinate with each other. I
would like to have one load before the other. Is that possible? Both
classes are in the same kext (and the same library).

Thank you for your ideas,


 ...Duane
