Most probably it is . I have just analysed the dependency for one level. and I am planning to do the restore for also one level. i.e suppose that c-->b -->a if I dropped a and turned out that a is used for some reasons, I will restore a and b only without c.
I want to do that for the following reasons. If I restore the whole dependency tree I might end up of restoring the database and the data which are newly inserted will be lost. This situation is actually rare because most of the entities are empty, I just want to make sure.

doesn't this dependency cancel the 'unused' part?
