Dependent Optionlist/Picklist values in CRM 2011

The links below would take you to articles which describe it more.

Please not you can have multiple picklist dependent on the same picklist in an entity. This is supported. All you have to do is to create a single web resource with all the mapping data inside it and it will work. 

If you have any issues doing the above let me know.
