This is, as far as I understand, exactly how it's *supposed* to work, at
least, as documented.  The only relationship needed between a "parent"
snapshot, and the snapshot you're sending, is that the parent already
exists on the destination.  Your example would be completely
counter-productive, since there is no data shared between the two, but
perfectly legitimate.  1.ro1 is the parent of 2.ro2 because *you
explicitly told it to*.
