I'm not quite sure what you're asking. In particular, I don't understand what you mean by "subproduct" or "subsystem"; we just have packages. If you're asking whether all required dependencies for any explicitly requested packages will be installed, then yes, they will. That is, if, say, "application/cat" depends on "library/libc", and "library/libc" is not installed, then when you attempt to install "application/cat", the system will see that dependency, retrieve and install "library/libc" first, and refuse to install "application/cat" if "library/libc" failed to install.
