I think I get what you're looking for here... let me use an example to
illustrate what I think you mean:

* There are two servers, web1 and web2 in a hostgroup called 'webservers'.
* Each web server has an HTTP service, and a WEB_PORTAL service which depends
  on the HTTP service being up.

I take it that, in a single servicedependency statement you'd like to say
that, for all hosts in hostgroup 'webservers', service WEB_PORTAL depends on
service HTTP from that host only.
So that web1's WEB_PORTAL depends on web1's HTTP (and only web1's HTTP), and
web2's WEB_PORTAL depends on (only) web2's HTTP.

I agree that this seems like the most common case, but unfortunately I don't
think this is covered by the servicedependency syntax.  Perhaps someone more
knowledgeable will correct me if I'm wrong.
