Guess 1: Pretty much sums what I need guess 2 was a bouncer couldn't
understand what it meant :-S but dependency just implies that XYZ needs
to be installed before ABC right ? It doesn't package it in single
binary?

There may be a way to bundle RPMs together so that rpm will install all of them, but I don't know how to do that. I tend to use apt or yum to do my installs, so installing more than one RPM isn't a big deal.
However, rather than doing an rpm -i inside an rpm, just tar up the .rpm's and tack a bit of shell script on the front to unpack and install the rpms. You do need to have the dependency too.
For example, create a .tar.gz with your two rpms, and tack that onto the end of a shell script like this:
#!/bin/sh
tail +4 $0 | (cd /tmp && tar -xzf - && rpm -i ABC-1.rpm XYZ-1.rpm && rm ABC-1.rpm XYZ-1.rpm)
exit 0
(Untested, YMMV, may do terrible things to your system, etc, etc, etc.)
