Just simple advice.

1. The problem of adding more input types, as well as expressing more functions over existing and additional (unbound) input types, is a classical computer science problem called The Expression Problem.

2. It's really not about 'parents'. It is about workflows. "Can you lift 50 lbs?" may be a dependency for another question.

3. It's simple dependency inversion to use a list of Success and Failure objects to determine the state of a Submit button. This way Submit.Enabled = !list.Any(i => i.Failure). Why should Submit be responsible for knowing the structure of a form, such as fragile parent-child relationships that have no basis in reality.

4. There are really two kinds of dependencies. Layout and workflow. It's too easy to commingle these. Spreadsheets, for example, contain no such visual dependency between cells, only flow.
