Strict Dependency Option so Successor Doesn't Show in Tasks and Can't be Started

Zoho Dependencies are awesome but we're just missing the main purpose of dependencies.

Use Case

We manage a huge team and we need to make sure that tasks are being worked on in the order of priority. Almost all tasks in our projects have dependencies set, now we need to be able to control the tasks and make sure users work on the ones that needs to be finished first. Having the ability to make inactive or restrict work on tasks that have dependencies that have a unfinished predecessor (obviously when we use the FS- Finish to Start rule) would be a huge help.

If you got any workaround or function that can hep me accomplish what i need, would be wonderful. I just think that you should build in this feature in as the Finish to Start type.
