Setup Multiple WCF Service Reference Part 1

This is how I have setup a multiple "Services" (Interfaces) within in a single host.  Way I understand the WCF is that it acts as a virtual .Dll.  As such, you can practically place every routine in the WCF space.  

Scenarios:

public
class
Service1 : IService1

{

public Service2 Service2 { get; set; }

public Service3 Service3 { get; set; }

public Service4 Service4 { get; set; }

}

You want to able to do some routines that are required by Service2..4.   Let's say that each one of them has (add/update, delete, get) functions.  You could insert them into the IService1.  However, you would have too many methods.  So, I thought of creating separate services for separate classes.  I am sure there are better ways.  I do not know the better ways as of today (03/05/2009).  I have not been able to use generics or something bit clever or elegant.

This is what I came up for my self-technical constraints.
