Cesar,

If you follow our Risk Assessment Table, then you need to identify all the assets, and then threats and vulnerabilities for each asset. This basically means that if you think an incident can impact several assets, then you should mention adequate threats and vulnerabilities for each of those assets.

In other words, you don't have to show direct dependencies between assets because that would only complicate the risk assessment; the dependency will be implicit by identifying the same threats for a group of assets.
