Thanks a lot for your answer.

Yes, it was typo. Sorry
No, you only need foo1 and foo2. The other two are optional.
I get:
* checking package dependencies ... ERROR
Package suggested but not available: 'foo3'
"Imports" means that symbols are imported form the namespace, so they
are mandatory for the package to operate. "Suggests" means that
symbols from the package are not required, but they are used in
examples or vignettes, so the listed package(s) will be needed for a
full check. They are not needed for the operation of the package, though.
That's very clear, thanks a lot.
So I will use
- 'Depends:foo1' if there is a function in foo1 that my package use often
No, better make use of Namespace imports all the time and only use
"Depends" if you really need the other package to be installed. This is
rarely needed.

- 'Imports:foo2' if there is a function in foo2 that my package might
use rarely
- 'Suggest:foo3' if an example .Rd in foo0 needs a function in foo3
Right?
Cheers, Simon
