The idea behind the Chazal is that if I can ignore my own needs and daven for someone else who needs the same thing that's Gevaldig. 
By making these partnerships you're perhaps not really ignoring your own needs,  you just figured out a trick.
If of course one fulfills the intentions of Chazal it's a beautiful thing. But that means that you're so bothered by yennems tzorah that you're ignoring your own to daven for them.  An admirable madreigah
You are off. We live in a very selfish world for someone to be able to lift their eyes see that there are other people other than himself that is a wonderful thing. This is the kavanah of chazal.

If the reason your davening for him is in order for you to get helped than imho that's called davening for yourself.
