> The following graph
> {code}
> POM
> |->a 2.0 compile
> |-->b 2.0 compile
> |->b 1.0 test
> {code}
> will be mediated to
> {code}
> POM
> |->a 2.0 compile
> |->b 1.0 test
> {code}
> The test dependency on b will make the transitive application dependency on b disappear. Maven should understand that the application dependency on b in version 2.0 is part of the application classpath and that  the test dependency on b in version 1.0 is part of the test classpath only (overriding the application classpath). If someone adds a dependency on a project like that, the test dependency will disappear because the test scope is not transitive so that a "consuming" project gets a different application classpath than the project itself.
