groked documentation  - not that simple ;)

dependencies are inherited by all children down the
tree,  dependencyManagement olny if they like, and
there is possibility to override stuff. 

Exclusion / inclusion / scoping works the same way.

DM is good for dependencies on container  / gems / tck
( to avoid version specification everywhere ) 

tck also uses it to override scope for junit etc.
