Considering the fact that 99% of all networking equipment has a single 
parent only, I'd say this idea would break things more than it would 
help, or that you haven't quite understood the idea of parents.

What you might be suggesting can (to some degree) be accomplished with 
hostdependencies and the hostgroup_name and dependent_hostgroup_name 
statements in those objects, without having a status map that's totally 
insane...
