Add hosts with the same IP-address as its parent would have, and name 
them dummy1 and dummy2 (for example). That way parents-dependencies are 
taken into account in the checking logic.

Real network;
Nagios --> switch1 --> Fiberconv --> Fiberconv --> switch2
           10.1.1.12    <no ip>       <no ip>      10.1.1.17

Configure so nagios sees;
Nagios --> switch1 --> fiberconv1 --> fiberconv2 --> switch2
           10.1.1.12    10.1.1.12      10.1.1.12     10.1.1.17

You must also add a PING service to each, so the two fiberconverters 
really fail when they are unreachable.
