  1. 8.0 core/lib/Drupal/Core/Cache/CacheableDependencyInterface.php \Drupal\Core\Cache\CacheableDependencyInterface

Defines an interface for objects which may be used by other cached objects.

All cacheability metadata exposed in this interface is bubbled to parent objects when they are cached: if a child object needs to be varied by certain cache contexts, invalidated by certain cache tags, expire after a certain maximum age, then so should any parent object.
