    I am building asset bundles individually with separate calls to BuildAssetBundles.

    From what I can tell, Asset bundles are only marked as a Dependency if they are built in the same 'BuildAssetBundles' call.

    Is this intended? And if so is there anyway for a asset bundle to be built after it's dependency is built (and then include it as a dependency)

    Hey @leevermeulen

    This is indeed intended behavior with the current build pipeline. This is due to the dependency calculation step being part of the build call, so if the `BuildAssetBundles` does not have that bundle, it can't properly mark it as a dependency. This will be changing in the refactored build pipeline we are working on currently though that's not due to be released until 2018.1.
