I think there is something like that, but not quite, for modules.

Module dependencies on named modules aren't strictly recorded,
because auto-loading isn't supported; if you want to hack up
auto-loading, then it's probably reasonable to add a dependency,
other than failing due to undefined symbols.
For ordinary configuration option interdependencies... I think
they should be administratively prohibited. If you don't let
them happen, then you don't have to deal with the fallout. Kind
of like dealing with nuclear accidents.
