   What I have right now is (for the navigator package)

      (autoload 'navigator  "location" "Navigator" t)
      (autoload 'multishell "location" "Multishell" t) , etc.

   where navigator is dependant on multishell.

   To run navigator I have to call each file up the dependance chain indiviually
      Meta-X comint
      Meta-X cmushell
      Meta-X multishell
      Meta-X navigator

At the top of navigator.el, put in 

	(require 'multishell)

During the loading of navigator.el, when this form is executed,
multishell.el will be loaded if it hasn't been already.

There is one catch -- multishell.el must have in it:

	(provide 'multishell)

Look at the top of cmushell.el to see how it's done.
