The reason I wasn't sure is because Plake, used as a simple file assembler, is only assembling static sections. So there is no "working" in this sense, i.e. nothing really can fail. The sections just get stuck together.

If Plake gets used in the "target-based programming" way then I can see that dependency-chaining would become more valuable.

Really, it wouldn't be hard to add, outside of the problem that would arise when a target and a section share the same name. Thanks.
