you have it the wrong way round , it should be like this
define servicedependency{
host_name van-mail01
service_description Ping
service_description Uptime, C - Disk Space, D -
Disk Space
execution_failure_criteria w,u,c
notification_failure_criteria ,w,u,c
}
this tells nagios that the primary service is ping and the others
depend on him to work.
the fact that we only state the host ones - tells nagios that it is
"same host dependencies"
to get more in depth understanding read these :
