What i have done is something similar. I use inport for this
purpose. If Daily is true it will also excecute statements in
hourly and quaterly. 

groups:
  # Time classes 
  #
  Daily         = ( Hr00.Min00_05 DTest )
  Hourly        = ( !Hr00.Min00_05 HTest Daily DTest )
  Quarterly     = ( Min15_20 Min30_35 Min45_50 Hourly QTest HTest )

control:
  schedule    = ( Min00_05 Min15_20 Min30_35 Min45_50 )  

import:
  Quarterly::
    $(BASE_DIR)/quarterly.cf

  Hourly::
    $(BASE_DIR)/hourly.cf

  Daily::
    $(BASE_DIR)/daily.cf
