I've always had this question too. When they announced that Ahsoka would be introduced in The Clone Wars movie (back in 2008) I always had this nagging thought at the back of my mind, 'Is this a good idea? How will this tie into Episode III?' Like Brandon said above, Yoda had Ahsoka come in as a test to see if Anakin's issue with attachments could be broken only I think it backfired. As the series has progressed, you see Anakin's attachment issue strenghten not weaken which is how it connects to Episode III with Anakin's need to protect Padmé from death in childbirth with the infants that will become Luke and Leia.

I haven't seen all of Season 5 but I think I've seen season 4 and it's easy to see just how fair Anakin's attachment to Ahsoka has come in terms of what happens not long after Ahsoka's departure. I think with the unaired episodes that be season 6, Anakin is still secretly reeling over Ahsoka's decision to leave the Order but how much we will see of that is yet to be seen.
