New description:

 Currently if you move or rename a resource, the other resources
 referencing to it are not updated and can't find the new location of the
 resource, thus they will not work anymore. For example, if you move or
 rename a !FeatureSource, the !LayerDefinitions which reference to this
 !FeatureSource are not updated to use the new !FeatureSource URL, and thus
 fail to work properly. RFC 74 overloads the !ResourceService API
 !MoveResource by adding a new parameter "bool cascade" to indicate whether
 to update the referencing resources or not. The old API will continue to
 exist along with the new API to keep backwards compatibility.

 Please refer to RFC http://trac.osgeo.org/mapguide/wiki/MapGuideRfc74 for
 detail.
