I recently discovered nested projects and have been playing around with them.

I'd like to be able to create a single aunt action as a serial task, with multiple "bucket" child tasks.

That made no sense, did it?

An example might be better.

Let's say I want to make an omelet, bake a cake, and cook a meatloaf. What do you need for all three of those? You need eggs. I have no eggs. So I need to set up a hierarchy like this:

1) Buy eggs

2) Make omelet

2) Bake cake

2) Prepare meatloaf.

The final three tasks on that list are all numbered 2 because it doesn't matter what order I do them in. I can make the omelet first, bake the cake, or cook the meatloaf. Doesn't matter. But I do need to get those eggs first. Can't do any of the three without the eggs.

Any way to arrange aunt and child tasks in some combination of parallel, serial, and bucket to do that?

Of course, in the time I've spent pondering this question I could have done all the tasks on the list many times over....
