I sometimes sleep for a couple of days.  ;)

No, I don't know, and it appears that it doesn't.  In which case the
manpage appears wrong, because it says:

"depends=(testA:host1/test1,host2/test2)

When   deciding  the  color  to  report  for  testA,  if either
host1/test1 failed or host2/test2 failed, if  testA  has  failed also 
then  the color of testA will be "clear" instead of red or yellow."

Apparently, the case is that if host1/test1 or host2/test2 are red, then
the color of testA will be clear.
