I'd use ComponentGroups to group like things together. You can use ComponentGroupRef inside ComponentGroups to get heirarchys. Then you just need ComponentGroupRefs under the right Features and everything should get tied together.

The interdependencies between these components are a relatively complex graph, and they change from time to time. I'm looking for a way to make it as easy as possible for application developers who use these components to build a setup. This is what I have in mind: 1) I define a big wxs file with <Component> elements for all these software components. 2) Application developers put <ComponentRef> elements in their wxs for the software components they directly depend on. 3) Indirect dependencies are implicitly pulled in. Application developers never need to worry about this. Can this be done in wix? Is there any way to declare dependencies between components? I have not yet been able to get something like this working.
