Are the 4four cups of wine that we drink byat the Pesach Seder m'akevm'akev ("hold back"bar) each other. That is to say, without all 4four cups, do the cups a person is lacking something in the fulfillment of the mitzvah.does drink count for anything?

However one will ask, "l'mai nafkah minah". HowThat is, how could the 4four cups be "m'akev" each other and what difference does it make?

While I haven't come up withObviously a good nafkahpractical nafka minah yetwould be: If one does not have four cups, seeminglyis there any point in drinking three?

Seemingly there could be oneanother. IfIt says in the Mishnah in the beginning of Arvei Pesachim that if someone doesn't have 4four cups they take from the "tamchui" (take from Tzedeka.). If the person is only able to get 2two cups forfrom Tzedeka and can't get all 4four, does he still take? Perhaps it's only when he'll get 4four and be able to fulfill the mitzvah in it's fullest would he take from tzedeka. 

As always provide sources and perhaps other nafkah minei for the this question.

Daled cosos one mitzahm'akev each other?

Do we look atAre the 4 cups of wine that we drankdrink by the Pesach Seder as "one mitzvah" and therefore all four cups are m'akev ("hold back") each other. That is to say without all 4 cups the person is lacking something in the fulfillment of the mitzvah.
