Diverse component dependancys

I have a component, an EnemyStatComponent which has an EnemyCombatComponent dependancy
example:

[TorqueXmlSchemaDependency(Type = typeof(EnemyCombat))]
    public class EnemyStatComponent : TorqueComponent, ITickObject

my plan was to create an AlienCombat component, which encapsulates the EnemyCombatComponent like so...

AlienCombat : EnemyCombat

But in the TXB editor, I can't do this... in my opinion this problem sort of trounces the usefulness of the feature. Because the editor won't let me rescheme my components to the new configuration. I guess I can create my dependancys in the abstracted classes,

[TorqueXmlSchemaDependency(Type = typeof(EnemyStatComponent))]
    public class AlienCombat : EnemyCombat

but this idea still seems bad because what happens when I create an

AlienStatComponent : EnemyStatComponent

, I'll get the exact same effect!

I guess TXB has to somehow check if there are components which inherit the dependants.. Or I am miss-using this concept somehow...
