There are two options. You can do this through code, or just via manual setup. Manual method is fairly easy, just go to (Basic>Inquiries>Batch Job), create a new batch job and save it. Then click "View Tasks" and create a new task, where this will be your first batch task. Choose your class, description, batch group, etc., then save. Click "parameters" to setup the parameters.

After that, you can setup your dependent task. Make sure your tasks both have descriptions. Add your second batch task and save. Then in the lower left corner, you click on your task that you want to have a condition, then add a row there and setup your conditions so that one task won't go until the second has completed.

Via X++ code, you would create a BatchHeader where you setup basically the same thing we just did manually. You use the .addDependency to make one task dependent on the completion of the other. This walkthrough will get you started with a job to create the batch header, and you'll just have to play around to get the dependency working.
