Lots of people know. The answer is ofcourse that you should read and 
understand the manual before asking questions here. The Nagios config 
documentation really is quite extensive.

Perhaps you missed this particular snippet when configuring?

---%<---%<---%<---
One important thing to note is that by default, Nagios will use the most 
current hard state of the service(s) that is/are being depended upon 
when it does the dependeny checks. If you want Nagios to use the most 
current state of the services (regardless of whether its a soft or hard 
state), enable the soft_service_dependencies option.

There are lots of other goodies in the docs.
