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?
