Service depedency problem

In hosts setup for notification_options I use d,u,r, and as I said the
if hosts are down, the setup is fine. But if let's say ping reaches critical, 
I will get alert for all devices behind the parent. Do you suggest not using 
dependencies.cfg at all, and should services not get alerted, if upper 
level/parent host service is is critical?

Nagios version is 1.3.
