This is largely a matter of definition. Some restrict the term "dependent" clause to clauses that include relative pronouns, but most include all subordinate clauses, which could be defined as clauses that because of the presence in the clause of a relative pronoun or a subordinating conjunction or the absence in the clause of any "active" verb (i.e., a verb that is not an infinitive, gerund, or participle) can only properly be used in a sentence that also includes a clause not subject to any of these characteristics of a subordinate clause and therefore is termed and "independent". Note that a subordinate clause may be included in an independent clause.
