Yes, if you have "chkconfig" this is the thing to do. Renaming the 
/etc/init.d scripts yourself will be wasted next time you modify 
anything with chkconfig. See man chkconfig under "RUNLEVEL FILES"

At least on older SuSE distros, they do it like this e.g. for apache:
### BEGIN INIT INFO
# Provides:       apache httpd
# Required-Start: $network $named $remote_fs $syslog $netdaemons 
sendmail mysql ypclient dhcp radiusd
# Required-Stop:  $local_fs $network $named $remote_fs $syslog $netdaemons
# Default-Start:  3 5
# Default-Stop:
# Description:    Start the Apache httpd daemon
### END INIT INFO

So this means apache must start *after* sendmail, mysql, etc.
