I tried splitting that into six different dependencies (one for each host).
With only two hosts, config check says ok. If I add another host (for a 
total of 3 hostst) I get 2 circular dependency errors.
Also, with 3 hosts, it reports checking for 6 dependencies.
If I leave it in the original form and I comment 
execution_failure_criteria, the config check yields no error, but this 
means the dependecies work only for notifications. I would like to stop 
executions based on dependecies and it seems that this is the problem. 
Could you help me with this?

Forgot to specify: Nagios 3.0b7

Thanks
