Reaction: Required classes

[gazelle]

Do I need to open required classes of a class I want to use by myself?

Example:
The "clicktab.gadget" autodocs mentions "REQUIRES chooser.gadget". Do I have to open the "chooser.gadget" myself or will this be handled internally by the "clicktab.gadget"? The docs are not clear in that (or i didn't find it).

Normally, all dependencies are handled internally unless the particular class is badly written. "REQUIRES" means that the respective dependency must be present in the system.

Ok, thanks. I was hoping for that answer because I'm about to use the "getcolor.gadget" which does have a long required list.
