Huh. Don't know what could have been causing that problem. I've looked 
through your plugin and there's nothing that should be causing the problem 
you're describing.

I do agree that your plugin should not ship with Relink, but I figured you 
would keep the configuration file included with your project. If you have 
the tiddler...

$:/config/flibbles/relink/macros/subsume/tid

included, with the text content of "title", then you don't have to do 
anything else. And (in theory) anyone can install your plugin and/or Relink 
in any order they choose. It's up to them, and your plugin would work fine 
without it. I'd push this change to show you what I mean, but I can't find 
any sort of git repository.

Basically, the files listed under your plugin's contents would be:


    $:/plugins/giffmex/subsume/editortoolbarbutton/subsume
    $:/plugins/giffmex/subsume/editortoolbarbutton/subsume-edit
    $:/plugins/giffmex/subsume/images/subsume
    $:/plugins/giffmex/subsume/images/subsume-edit
    $:/plugins/giffmex/subsume/macro/
    $:/plugins/giffmex/subsume/macro/subsume-edit
    $:/plugins/giffmex/subsume/readme
    $:/plugins/giffmex/subsume/stylesheet
    $:/config/flibbles/relink/macros/subsume/tid

Which looks a little weird, but is entirely legal, and how a lot of 
cross-plugin integration is done. That config file is the only interaction 
you'd have with Relink. It does nothing if Relink isn't around, but if they 
ever get around to installing relink, then it will automatically come to 
life and integrate with the relinking whitelist. (If it doesn't, that's my 
problem.)
