Is something wrong with my dependencies? Or is it not possible to make

I think the problem is that you're expecting more from dependencies then
they provide. Assuming you have dependency behavior set to 'm' what will
happen is that test X won't be run if test Y has already detected a
failure. But if the failure occurs *between* when Y was last run and when
X is run then X will detect the failure first.
The answer to this is to have virtually every service have at least an
'alertafter 2' setting, so that two consecutive failures have to be
detected, and have the higher-order tests have shorter test intervals.
i.e. for my web servers I have mon configured to ping them every 30
seconds, check their load average via snmp every 45 seconds, test http
every minute, and test https every five minutes. (And the router between
my monitoring host and the web server is pinged every 15 seconds...)
