I am not sure why the five relations 五倫 or the five phases 五行 are listed as alternative definitions for the five virtues 五常. These are not interchangeable.
----------------------------------

Editor: They're listed as alternative definitions because that's what dictionaries say.

E.g.
New Age C-E Dict.
五常
1. five cardinal virtues [...]
2. see 五伦
3. see 五行

Or check out this definition:
