+### depends_on
+
+Express dependency between services, which has two effects:
+
+- `docker-compose up` will start services in dependency order. In the following
+  example, `db` and `redis` will be started before `web`.
+
+- `docker-compose up SERVICE` will automatically include `SERVICE`'s
+  dependencies. In the following example, `docker-compose up web` will also
+  create and start `db` and `redis`.
