Business Capabilities with relationships to other Business Capabilities, or simply nested?

We are beginning to build out our application portfolio and are creating the business capabilities that the company has defined. In the CSDM model do the different levels of nested business capabilities have relationships to each other (Provided By: Provides or similar) or are they simply nested and referenced in the Business Capabilities table as belonging to a parent capability?

The issue comes into play as teams would like to visualize the relationship (via a decency map) of the infra all the way up the stack to the application services, business applications, and ultimately into the capabilities provided.
