I think that the main advantage of @uses tag is not that you can document that some class is using another one, I think that is more important to have documented that one class is used by some others —so if the documentation is complete you know what parts of the code depends on some class/method/...

In PHPDocumentor @uses and @see are the same but @uses also creates (automatically) a backlink (@usedby) in the class referenced in @uses, one per each @uses pointing to it... And I think that it would be great to have this functionality also in ApiGen.

Thanks for reading me and also thanks a lot for the really good tool that ApiGen is.
