It should also be possible to install multiple packages from the command line, like:

gdebi-gtk package1.deb package2.deb package3.deb

See this Brainstorm idea and duplicates:
http://brainstorm.ubuntu.com/idea/3889/

It should try to install packages in the order given, but if one fails due to a dependency, and the dependency is one of the other packages in the list, it should resolve this automatically.

Some users suggested it also try to fulfill dependencies with other packages in the local directory as well, as described in Bug 134331. Of course if these are not included in the command line, it should ask first.
