I work in Agile environment and am familiar with stories & use cases.
However, when the project is broken into user stories, they always carry dependencies. Just a common correlation will show you that :User interface has no value without service layer and service layer needs user to validate its logic and gratify the user.

Could you please elaborate? Perhaps you can give an example of such a critical path? Thanks!

Is that clearer or did I muddy the waters?

It would be naive to imagine stories having no linkage or dependancy on previous stories
I am not talking about school projects
