No, that is the way it's documented :)

I want something like: (used other names just to make clear what I mean)
define service {
	service_description		nrpe
	...
}

define service {
	service_description		filesystem_through_nrpe
	....
}
define servicedependency {
	dependent_service		filesystem_through_nrpe
	dependent_from		nrpe
}


define service {
	service_description		health_through_nrpe
	....
}
define servicedependency {
	dependent_service		health_through_nrpe
	dependent_from		nrpe
}

or as a "better" way to define the service one is dependent from like this:
define service{
	service_description		health_nrpe
	dependent_from		nrpe
	...
}

like the "parent" we have at hosts.
