What part of:
If you have set them up with dependencies (Finish->Start ones, in particular), this should happen automatically as you change the finish date/time.
didn't you see? The second post gives an illustrated example of doing exactly that.

A minor omission from your original, and most of your subsequent, "explanation".

Not an omission. Two different mechanisms. The first is dependency-based, the second is resource-based. If you established the dependencies correctly, the chart will update in real time as you adjust the end date, whether or not you had any resource assignments. If you didn't establish the dependencies, but did assign the tasks to the same resource at utilization rates that would disallow simultaneous execution of the two tasks, the resource-based scheduling would make up for your failure to do so when you leveled your project, assuming you haven't altered the relative priorities, put the dependent task above the prerequisite on the chart, added a scheduling constraint, or otherwise affected the scheduling in such a way that it doesn't. This is described in "How scheduling and leveling work" in the online help if you want more information. Note that if you assigned the dependent task to a different resource, eliminating the resource contention, OmniPlan would have no way to know that the dependent task had to be rescheduled unless you had properly established the dependencies. Hmm, where have we heard that before?
