This is a difficult situation to model. In particular, you could only
have a dependency one way -- so if we could get App 3 to fail over if
App 1 fails, we couldn't model the other direction (App 1 failing over
if App 3 fails). If each is dependent on the other, there's no way to
start one first.

Is there a technical reason App 3 can work only with App 1?

Is it possible for service "X" to stay running on both App 3 and App 4
all the time? If so, this becomes easier.
