Deployment dependency between parameters

[guimatheus92]

We have the dependsOn feature, where we can set resource dependencies within Bicep templates.

I have worked in some projects where we used to define each resource separately in different files instead of modules, and for each resource, there could be one or more .bicepparam files for a given template.

So the problem is when we try to deploy using the az deployment group create, I would like to create a chain of dependencies between them and deploy them all at once and a dependency would be respected.

I don't know if there is a way to achieve that, but if not, I would suggest to create any feature in Bicep where we can define all parameters files we want to deploy and maybe set a dependency with dependsOn also, that way I can manage files separately and deploy them together.

Project structure is like this:

How could I deploy MachineLearningWorkspace.mlwmlwalias1int01.Parameter.bicepparam only after StorageAccount.stmonitoringint01.Parameter.bicepparam for example?
