Flexible Notification Configuration in Nagios

[TonForce]

I use Nagios XI for monitoring a network of different devices. I need a flexible configuration of relations between hosts and services. For example, there is a DEV1 which I monitor and there is DEV2 which I monitor too. DEV1 depends on DEV2. When DEV2 goes down, DEV1 goes down too. However If DEV1 goes down, DEV2 mb or may not go down. Here I need send notification by the following set of rules:

DEV2 goes down -> send not. that DEV2 is down; don't send not. that DEV1 is down.

DEV1 goes down -> send not. that DEV1 is down.

And there are much more logic in my network. How I can do this with nagios, it is kind of expressions? If I cannot do this with Nagios, which program I can use to do that?
