rcorder parses the rc scripts under /etc/rc.d and /usr/local/etc/rc.d.
 It checks the PROVIDE: lines to make a list of all the services these
scripts provide.  Then it checks the REQUIRE: lines and orders all the
scripts accordingly.

Which means, the only values you can use in REQUIRE: lines are those
that are already listed in a PROVIDE: line somewhere.

I'm willing to bet there are no scripts on your (or any) system that
have "PROVIDE: tclsh8.4" in them.

IOW, if there's no script that PROVIDEs a service, then no other
script can REQUIRE it.
