On MDL-302, I suggested that a triggered topic view of the course might depend on signals from these 2 new elements.
#1 seems like a simple flagged triggered by teacher, user, or grade.
#2 sounds as if it requires prerequisite activities to be flagged before it becomes available.

For the criteria I'm imagining that each module has something like this to define the state:
1. Module is available when MENU1, MENU2 ..
MENU = xxmodulexx is completed
date is xxxx, etc
2. Module is completed when MENU
MENU = grade higher than passing grade,
date is xxxx, etc
Also, what happens if am activity in the chain is altered? How are downstream activities affected?

Also this that I wrote in an email discussion with Bernard Boucher:

My main problem is the interface, as you know, and I realise
you've had to work in with how Moodle currently works. What
you have done is a very clever approach but would confuse
new teachers because it reuses other mechanisms.
An alternate interface would be a small lock icon, when
clicked you get a small dialogue pop up up with
---------------------------------------------------------
This activity is only available when:
[menu choice of activities]
( ) has been seen
(o) has been graded with a minimum grade
of [menu]
[OK, lock it] [Cancel locking]
---------------------------------------------------------
Locked activities would show a closed lock, others would show
a open lock. The whole locking structure would be an optional
setting in the course settings.
I will keep thinking about infrastructure changes to improve this,
since it ties in with the gradebook. This also needs to be made
very efficient so that every item doesn't involve gradebook
lookups every time the course page is shown ..
