They are independent, you should be able to run any of the tests in isolation (modulo however easy or hard it is to convince that language to run a subset of its testsuite). But our numbering still makes sense: if tests 1xx and 5xx both fail, we are better off debugging the failure in 1xx first, because we've hosed the core interaction with the language bindings, whereas 5xx is more the application usage built on top of what is assumed to be a working core.
