circular parent relationships

I have a need to configure parent relationships for switches that are
connected in a ring like so:
NAGIOS HostA HostB HostC
| | | |
Router -- Switch1 -- Switch2 -- Switch3
| |
---------------------
Pseudo config like so:
host Router { }
host Switch1 { parents Router,Switch2 }
host Switch2 { parents Switch1,Switch3 }
host Switch3 { parents Switch2,Switch1 }
host HostA { parents Switch1 }
host HostB { parents Switch2 }
host HostC { parents Switch3 }
Stock Nagios generates a "circular parent/child path" error. I've
commented out the Switch1/Switch3 parent entries to make it mostly work
but a fault with Switch2 will incorrectly put Switch3 in UNREACHABLE.
This seems like something that should be supported but after some
searching, I found one patch that addresses it but it's not been
incorporated into the released version of the software.
Is there another way to handle this?
