Thanks Erik - I agree with your points and you've given me a different way of thinking about dependencies as actions rather than just queries for data. Whilst a better approach than 2., I don't think this will prevent me from designing what I've seen referred to as a 'distributed monolith' with a tangled web of dependencies between services. My understanding is that one of the main (if not the main) goal of microservices is independence - it seems that even in this basic use-case that is an issue.
