Process ppid checking

Hi list,
i'd like to ask about two ideas for improving ppid checking.
First idea is about checking the ppid against a pre defined value, mostly 1, like:

check process matching myprocess
    if changed PPID then alert
    if PPID != 1 then alert

The second idea deals with coupled process, where one process should be the parent of the other one, e.g.:

check process matching myprocess-parent
    if PPID != 1 then alert

check process matching myprocess-child
    if PPID != myprocess-parent then alert

Are there any chances that this might come with a future version?

Kindly Regards,
      Christian Göttsche
