I guess I'm still not understanding what you're needing... You
can define a service dependency for each individual service if
that's what you're after, instead of all at once.
So, if you have a service "check_linux_filesystem_nrpe" that
depends on a service "nrpe" on a host, you can add a service
dependency for that in its own file. Then, when you add another
service named "check_linux_memory_nrpe" that also needs the "nrpe"
service, you can define another, seperate service dependency for
that in its own file. It doesn't matter if they're defined all in
one definition or seperately, as long as your Nagios installation
is configured to pick up on the new files it will be just fine.
I hope I'm understanding you correctly?
