Here you asume that if SSH fails because it depends on another service it
will also fail SNMP

I have not seen SSH being dependent on anything however in your
description. How a non exsiting parent will impact services is unknown to
me.

Is this a real wildcard? Are they supported?

I would expect:

define servicedependency{
          host_name                       HOSTNAME1
          service_description             SNMP
          dependent_host_name             HOSTNAME1
          dependent_service_description   NTP
          execution_failure_criteria      w,p,u,c
          notification_failure_criteria   w,p,u,c
          inherits_parent                 1
}

define servicedependency{
          host_name                       HOSTNAME1
          service_description             SNMP
          dependent_host_name             HOSTNAME1
          dependent_service_description   Ganglia
          execution_failure_criteria      w,p,u,c
          notification_failure_criteria   w,p,u,c
          inherits_parent                 1
}
