Well, you have to define what dependent means, specifically, in order to 
have a generating function even theoretically.  Realizing it may be 
something else, but you have to start w/ something.

Also, as written, 1) and 2) are contradictory if somehow this is to be a 
single matrix satisfying both.

You need a far more precise problem definition to get anywhere methinks.
