Not yet.... I have a friend working on a system he calls TWIST (The Way I See Things), in which skills are initially based on stats, but as you use a skill based on a stat, both the skill (majorly) and the stat it is based on (minorly) improve (keeping in mind the principle of diminishing returns). When a skill rating gets fairly large, the user can take one or more of the 'techniques' involved in it and focus on that 'technique' to the extent that it becomes its own skill. All skills are related, and what's important about that is that when a skill improves beyond a certain rating, part of that improvement 'bounces' to the stat(s) and skill(s) which that original skill is directly related to - - - an epiphany!

It sounds to me that RuneQuest/BRP would pretty easy to do this with.
Just tweak how frequently you check for skill gains.
