Hmm, it seems to me that the original question is pretty clearly all about a single context: Another way to view tasks: instead of just showing tasks that are actionable, also show tasks which would become actionable if other tasks in this context were completed. :-). Be that as it may ...

One solution would be to introduce a filter between "Available" and "Remaining" that would be, in effect, "Remaining in the current context(s)". (By this I mean that it would show all the actions that remain in the currently selected context(s) that aren't dependent on actions in currently unselected context(s). It would be less restrictive than "Available" but more restrictive than "Remaining".) Aside from having to find a name for it, I think it would give the desired behavior, and would scale properly as different contexts (or sets of contexts) were selected. The answers to Curt's questions would be "Yes" and "Yes" I think.

I'm not sure it's really useful enough to include, though.
