An about, a thematic focus, is more specific than that. cfika2, for instance, may be as much relevant to cfika1 as cfika3 may be -- a work
of fiction cu srana both its plot and its author (and possibly many
other things). Consider:

la .alis. cfika sera'a lo nixli

This doesn't necessarily say that the plot revolves around a girl --
it could as well be saying the work is dedicated to a girl.

I'm sorry, I don't see how anything based on {srana} could possib= ly mean "dedicated to". You'll have to explain.

Well, may be it's not th= at something is wrong with {sera'a/pe/srana} but rather wrong usage and/or = glossing.

srana x1 pertains to/is germane/= relevant to/concerns/is related/associated with/is about x2.
ckini  x1 is related to/associated with/akin to x2 by relation= ship x3.

If we arbitrarily chose parts of thos= e definitions we'd get
  srana x1 is relevant to x2
  ck= ini  x1 is relevant to x2
which is nonsense.

ckini wouldn't= be that. For one thing, you left out the x3, and for another, it isn't "re= levant", it's "related". The Cold War isn't relevant to WWII, but it is rel= ated (by being a direct result of it).
Sorry, it should be 
  srana x1 is = releted to x2
  ckini  x1 is related to x2 = by relationship x3

 
If {srana} reall= y gives us thematic role then all the other "is relevant to" meanings can b= e assigned to {ckini/seki'i}.
