Also, no way to depend on a static library or a file directly, forcing the makefile usage.  This may have changed, so, if you can so native Xcode projects that can do the following we can change cmake:

This is unnecessary.  Unlike most unix linkers, the Xcode linker repeatedly iterators over all archives on the command line.  You never need to add the same archive more than once on the command line.

The order that the libraries appear in the PBXFrameworksBuildPhase is the order that they are passed to the linker.

This is normal behavior for the Xccde build system.  If one target depends on the product of another target, the build system follows the chain and builds everything needed for the target requested to be built.
