Depends/Imports/Suggest/Enhence

Thanks a lot for your answer.
(it is really "Suggests" and "Enhances" - the above are typos I presume and thus won't be recognized)
Yes, it was typo. Sorry
No, you only need foo1 and foo2. The other two are optional.
I get:

* checking package dependencies ... ERROR
Package suggested but not available: 'foo3'
"Imports" means that symbols are imported form the namespace, so they are mandatory for the 
package to operate. "Suggests" means that symbols from the package are not required, but they are 
used in examples or vignettes, so the listed package(s) will be needed for a full check. They are 
not needed for the operation of the package, though.
That's very clear, thanks a lot.
So I will use

  - 'Depends:foo1' if there is a function in foo1 that my package use often
  - 'Imports:foo2' if there is a function in foo2 that my package might use rarely
  - 'Suggest:foo3' if an example .Rd in foo0 needs a function in foo3

Right?
Cheers, Simon
Christophe
