make one card dependent on having successfully learned a previous one
Suppose an English learner was learning the word "toothbrush". It would be facilitate learning if this vocabulary item could be left pending until both "tooth" and "brush" had already been learned.

The "Successfully Learned" means different thing for different people; different areas of study. Hence, we would need a few user-definable options; like:
* show Next card after the first/Previous card was:
a) Reviewed { 3 4 5 ..... times }
b) Graded { options for 3 4 5 }--------- Point-2:
Sister cards should be included. -

Similar to this idea, because the goal is to change the order of the cards (basics first, the more advanced stuff later): https://mnemosyne.uservoice.com/forums/164265-general/suggestions/2920691-changing-initial-order-of-cards

This idea is similar, because it seems to be important to link cards:

It will be greate to collect statistics on words remembering one after another for improving language learning.

Good idea! in the meantime, I can recommend this site for german chinese learners: http://taeglich.chinesisch-trainer.de/

I've never seen this used in any learning software that has a good flow. Any software i've seen which employs this strategy, without fail, has been cumbersome with mouse grabbing, clicking & chasing buttons. It would be very useful in an already useful software. Please yes!

This software connects knowledge a little bit like I would connect it: http://www.thebrain.com/

Interesting idea! :) This would add some extra information to the vocabs.
I would even go further then this. :D How about an algorithm to automatically calculate the words that would be necessary to explain "toothbrush"? This could be tooth, brush, but also tooth paste, to clean, to brush, to rinse, dentist, dental drill, dental health, health, tounge, to bite, tooth enamel, dental implant, dental crown...
As you see, the examples, I gave you, are somewhat connected. And some are not really necessary to explain tooth brush. ^^ But it is still a good example. :D Question: Which is the word to replace "tooth brush" in this context? Maybe "dental care"? This looks a little like a pyramid, with the basics a the bottom and the more sophisticated expressions / words at the top.
And I know, you can do this with tags too, but you would need quite a few. Another problem is that tags only categorize. Often people tend to choose categories like "Chapter 1", "Chapter 2",... this is "Old School" in the century of the internet and computers. Well, I don't want to say that tags are useless. ;) I would like to have connections between words, which are directional. Tags point from the top of the pyramid down to the more basic words. Why through the information away of connections pointing to the top of the pyramid? The reason why people do use tags is, because that way they don't need to care about those connections pointing up (which are many more).
The perfect learning software should know all connections between words and their direction in my opinion. Languages are not infinite, therefore there has to be a solution for this problem. ^^ Enjoy life!
