this is related to Provisioner service and Feature deployment

If I remember correctly we cannot have nested management operations. A deployment being a management op can therefore not trigger another deployment op, right?

The general use case is that during deployment of A I want to deploy B which is required by A. Even more general - a user invoked mgmnt op should be able to trigger a deployment op.

Is there any way to work around that? 

If not, the only alternative I can see is to have some service that executes the ops in sequence. That service needs to be invoked from client code (i.e. not from a DUP nor from a mgmnt op)

cheers
