Yes you can, but you'd have to type more than you want, and the result 
wouldn't most likely be what you want. Instead, you would want to 
disable notifications for the other services until any of them return 
OK. This would be easier to implement if the config could handle 
something like classes, where one service is 'master' of other services 
(it can be done with servicedependencies too, but not in a very 
intuitive way).
