Keyword here is "all remaining services". If you have fixed number of
services that are known in advance then yes, you can of course
configure arbitrary dependencies between them and order them exactly
as you need.

What is asked at regular interval is doing the same for arbitrary
number of services unknown in advance. This is not possible.
