if i understand you correctly, this is _very_ simple to achieve. here an
example of a renderchain:


[gemhead]
|
[translateXYZ]         <- translate the whole planet system around 
|
[sphere 1]             <- sun
|
[rotateXYZ]            <- rotate around  Y-axis
|
[translateXYZ 2 0 0 ]
|
[sphere 0.1]            <- earth


you can also add the moon:

|
[rotateXYZ]        <- rotate around Y-axis
|
[translate 0.2]
|
[sphere 0.03]


hope, that makes it clear how to 'resolve dependencies' in gem.
