If you are talking about program chaining, then no that does not work as expected. It will verify the dependent program is already installed, but it won't initiate it.
Applications are another story though.

Jason, that what I expected to hear and that's what I'm Experiencing, but why is that a bug. It like its not allocating space for the prerequisite because when you try to create media, it gives you all the packages that are in the task sequence and DP,
but it does not take in to account the prerequisite package. Can someone give me better explanation

There is no explanation. This by design and is stated in the official TechNet docs:

Sorry, I though you talked about applications. For applications it will work. For Packages, it's the same as on SCCM 2007, it fails.
