How about the circulation system? It appears to be required for any non-plant that is bigger than a few cells, and yet it is highly complex and interrelated:
A heart is useless without bloodand blood vessels
Blood vessels are useless without blood and a heart
Blood is useless without a heart and blood vessels
In order for any of them to happen, all three would have to happen simultaneously, or be nothing but a liability. E.G. the heart has to be a functional pump in order to move the blood through the veins, the blood needs to be able to carry nutrients at that same time, and the blood vessels need to already extend to everywhere they need to go.
